tax credit income limits- you might want to see this

came across this earlier- sorry but i dont know how to post a link-
go to revenuebenefits.org, then go to tax credits,click on header- new rates updated 20 march and then maximum income limits.
hth you all, theres also a table for wtc and one that includes childcare. think some people are gonna get a big shock though as the cut off is actually alot lower than £25000 if no childcare paid.

    Is this the link http://www.revenuebenefits.org.uk/tax-credits/guidance/how-much-can-your-client-get/maximum-income-limits/

    £51,947 for 5 children seems a reasonable maximum income limit.

    It looks to me like the cut off for a couple with one child and no childcare costs is £25703 - am I reading it wrong?

    thanks for doing the link.
    cornish pixie- i think that is for wtc &ctc. ctc only is £23576 apparently. tbh though it is still a bit confusing if its not a basic claim.
    happy mj- £51000 ish, should be more than enough imo. we have just had no4 and earn a lot less than that, however tax credits has never been a consideration when deciding to expand the family.

    I don't quite understand the maximum income limit of £11,112 for single people working less than 30 hours. I thought a single person without a disability had to work 30 hours a week to get any form of working tax credits at all.

    The average woman would rather have beauty than brains,
    because the average man can see better than he can think.

    Many people's view of the world is down to their experience, perception and what they have been conditioned to,this isnt any old MSE reply this is a important and experienced MSE reply :rotfl:
