tax credits help needed please

nat3012

HI I renewed my tax credits 6 weeks ago however I received a letter today requesting information, it stated : thank you for completing your tax credits annual declaration form, we need some more information from you to help us deal with your tax credits claim. Our records show that you are employed but you have not provided an income figure on the Annual Declaration form. My point is put down my income on my renewal form so I am wondering why they need it again!! Was wondering if anyone has received a letter like this or can anyone tell me why they need the income figure again .

Thanks guys

Just remembered I put an estimate down on my income on my renewal form , could this be why?

Possibly. If you only have employed income, it shouldn't need to be an estimate because you should have had your P60 by the end of May.

Is there any reason you had to estimate?

Yea never had my P60 when I renewed however I got it last week , just really confused why they need the information again when I have already provided it.

Possibly the form has slipped when being scanned and your emloyed earnings figure ended up in self employed or you may have put it in the wrong box by mistake.

Best bet would be to phone the helpline and see if they can shed some light on it/amend it. You'll also be able to give the actual figure now you have your p60.
