I am going self employed but do not expect to be in profit as i will be reinvesting my money (computers/phones/etc).
Will i be able to get some sort of tax credit to help me until i can pay my self.
Am 19 if that makes a difference
Many thanks

I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something

Hello,
To be eligible for Working Tax Credits at 19 you have to have a child or be recieving DLA and working 16+ hours. If you dont have child/DLA then you have to be over 25 and working 30+ hours.

you can claim housing and council tax benefit (unless you still live with your parents that is. sorry i dont know if you do or not).
good luck.
however, as you are under 25 you will only be eligible to claim single room rent on the HB side.There's someone in my head, but it's not me0
