Tax credit renewal - Removed estimated income checkbox

dl5543

Just come to renew my tax credits and noticed they've removed the 'estimated' checkbox when you fill in your income details.

It's still there for self employed but not if you're employed. I can't find my P60 with my details on so mine is an estimate - but didnt give me the option to say!

Also.... GOOD NEWS ..... they've finally put something in place where you can renew online. There is a feedback request at the end of it.... I said, "It's much better than the alternatives - which are waiting on hold for 30 minutes or paying the postage to send it via snail mail!"

you shouldn't need to estimate your income as you have a P60; if the details are incorrect, you may have either an underpayment or overpayment so I would find the P60 asap if I were you.

Well I'm afraid you're going to need to ring because an estimate is no longer acceptable for employment income which is why there is no box there... Chase up your employer for the exact figure and call up the tax credits office to give it to them.
