tax credit 12/13

Help, looks like I have to repay £1727!!!! Omg

:mad:I only work for a few months in 12/13 so when I returned to full time work last year I claimed tax credits, I have just received my Final award decision which is going on my earnings for last year 13/14, I owe nearly all of it back!!!
So how do you ever claim for just one year that you were entitled to?? :eek:

Hi blondebubbles

Thanks for replying

overpayment is for 2013/14
income for 2012/13 is £8285 and 2013/14 is £16402

no I didn't as I thought it didn't matter what I was expecting to earn the following year.

so is it the case that if for just one year my earnings are low I cannot claim as the next year my earning increased, and so I can never claim for a low earning year

so it is the case that if for just one year my earnings are low 12/13 £8285, I cannot claim as the next year my earning increased to much, and so I can never claim for that low earning year?

Yes, you can claim for the low earning year but that was 12/13 - your claim was for 13/14.
