I'm afraid that is totally incorrect. As long as the child is in FTNAE(and under the age of 20) then the parents are able to claim CB/CTC for him, regardless of whether he has any earnings or not.

maybe you should quote the whole part of the advice I gave and not nit pick small sections of it.

I clearly indicated that I could find nothing about working whilst in FTNAE.

Just to refresh your memory.

He's still in FTNAE (full time non advanced education) but he could also be working (depending on what you decide above) and the regulation stats that once a young person starts working, they are no longer classed as a child for tax credit purposes.

However, I can't see anything that refers to working whilst also in FTNAE.

Thank you Dunroamin and sixer, he is my dependant in my eyes, do I have to notify IR and tax credits?

no you don't.

My daughter had a p/t job for a few months when she was 17 (it turned out to be a scam so wasn't in it for very long but thats a whole other story) I checked with the Lone parent advisor if I had to tell anyone she was working and because she was also in full-time education I didn't need to inform anyone.

OP , as above , you dont need to inform tco that your Son has this part time job as long as he is in full time education.

My own Daughter had a part time job and tco didnt need to know anything about it. I actually called the helpline when she first got the job just to check and I was assured that as long as she was in fte I didnt need to declare that she was working.

Keeping the Tax Credit Office up to date

Changes you need to report within one month



Tell the Tax Credit Office within one month if your child:

• leaves home
• goes to live with someone else
• dies
• leaves education or training that counts for Child Tax Credit
• starts training that's provided as part of their job
• gets a paid job and are usually paid to work for 24 hours or more a week - and they've left education or training that counts for Child Tax Credit
• starts to claim benefits or tax credits in their own right

If you don't report these changes, you might be paid too much in tax credits. If the Tax Credit Office does overpay you, you'll usually have to pay the money back. They may also charge you a penalty.

You might not have been able to "find" anything but those of us who don't need to Google for information were able to inform the OP correctly on a very well known issue.
