HMRC inaccurate letter

OneBrightStar

We have received this letter stating that tax credits claim will end in April unless we contact them.

I see on HMRC website that claim for a single child is now up to £26000. My wife doesn't work and I work full time earning about £40k. We have one baby 6 months old so does it mean we wont be eligible for any CTC or WTC at all?

From 6 April 2012, the income limit for you will depend on your own situation. But as a very rough guide, you might not be able to get any payments of tax credits if your income is more than around:

• £26,000 if you have one child
• £32,200 if you have two children
• £13,000 if you're single with no children
• £18,000 if you're in a couple with no children

You could still qualify from 6 April 2012 if your income is above these amounts. For example, if you pay for registered or approved childcare, are disabled, or have more than one or two children.
