At what point can you claim?

Hi

Just wondering if anyone can help I currently work almost full time and my husband also works full time. Whenever I have looked at tax credits or any kind of benefits in the past we haven't qualified for anything or than the usual £20 child benefit.

Can anyone advise what the threshold limit would be as in if I earnt under a certain amount I would be entitled to some kind of tax credits?

Are there different types of benefits you can claim or is it safe to say that if you are earning your own money you don't really qualify for anything?

Thanks

I suppose the question has to be how much do you each earn now?without that NO one can advise

If you are of working age it depends on too many factors for anyone to give you a straightforward answer. E.g. renting – if LHA applies / rates, CT liability, number and ages of children, approved childcare costs, savings, earnings from this and previous tax years etc etc.
All that plus the ever changing rules…
Can only agree with your frustration and suggest keep inputting your data into turn2us or other reputable calculator if you have a change of circumstances, or other wise at perhaps 3 monthly intervals.
This is unlikely to change substantially with Universal Credit IMHO:(
