Previous years tax credit element values...

Can someone provide (link to?) the monetary value to the TC elements for the last 2 years? I'm struggling to reconcile TCO's figures for this year and i suspect their "final award" is incorrect, so i need to establish my position and build a case against their figures. Tia.

    The element are listed on https://www.hmrc.gov.uk/tax credis - but you won't be able to work your award out using the. There's loads of tapering - differnt rates for different elements & income. Even a tax credit expert would take over an hour to do a calculation. Your best bet is to write in asking for your award to be checked. Also you can ask the Helpline for a calculation notice (different from an award notice - more detail).

    Hope that helps!

    If your case isn't complex you can do it in 10 minutes if you understand the rules - the tax credit manuals (with some calculation examples) is here - http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/tctmanual/index.htm
    I no longer work in Council Tax Recovery but instead work as a specialist Council Tax paralegal assisting landlords and Council Tax payers with council tax disputes and valuation tribunals. My views are my own reading of the law and you should always check with the local authority in question.
