Tax Credit

RealWelshWizard

I called them to update my earnings and tell them what I am likely to earn this year. The lady told me that they already knew what I had / will earn - she knew exactly what was on my p60.

I explained that I didn't want to be over paid this year , but she said that a renewal was on it's way and if everything is correct I don't have to do anything.

That's great. Thanks for your advice :-) I will give them a call again in the morning. Thanks again.

Still trying to get my head around this.

On last years award letter it told me what I would get for last year. It then says "from April 6th 2014 we have used an income of £27,1524.28 to work out your payments. From 9th April 2014 you will get £41.83 every week"

Does that mean as long as I don't earn over £32,154 year 2014 - 2015 (their estimate plus £5k) these payments I'm getting now will still stand?

I will just have an over payment of £84 from last year to pay back?

That seems quite a big payment. I earned around £12K last year and get just over £7a week.

update on this. despite ringing tax credits weeks and weeks ago, ringing them every Wednesday when payment goes in. they still keep on paying me based on a estimate from last year! I have not had any renewal - they say I am on the new automatic system. Last Wednesday an operator said yet again, that payments will now stop. we will see. They say there has been some glitches on their system. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
