Hopefully this will be a straightforward yes or no.
A single parent is working 20 hours a week.There is no possibility of increasing hours to 24 with the current employer.
Can that person get a second job, ( cleaning for example) of 4 hours and still claim the tax credit.
Secondly, what about self emplyed for 4 hours a week.Would this be legal ?
Thanks

Is it not the case that for eligibilty for Working Tax Credits the person must soon be working 24 hours, and if only working 20 they wouldn't qualify ?0

No, Princessdon is correct. The rules only changed for couples. Not for single parents. So if you are single, responsible for a child/young person you qualify for WTC at 16 hours.
