Tax credits Renewal??

Ikpo1979

Hi, sorry to be a pain but hopefully someone can help.

I am currently claiming child & working tax credits. My last payment was on the 1st April. I assumed that between then & now I would have received a renewal form as I'm not scheduled to recieve any more payments until I renew. I know that they can backdate the payments up to a month but am getting concerned that I haven't yet received the renewal pack. Plus the fact I need to complete my self employed tax return but I cannot do this as I am also part time employed and need my P60 from my employer to complete my tax return.

Does anyone know what i should do or have any useful advice? Many thanks.

I don't have the figures to hand at the moment as I'm at work. However, when I started receiving my payments in Sept last year, I was sent breakdown of the payments I would receive up to April if this year. I just assumed that they would then send me a renewal for the next financial year? My circumstances have not changed .

I get them 4 weekly, just looked back through my statement & I have received a payment for April but it's a lot less than the amounts I was receiving in previous months? Will they backdate it if these payments they are making aren't enough?

Actually, if you're employed, you now have to provide the actual income figures when you do your renewal. Estimated figures are no longer accepted unless you are self employed.
