Working tax credits question
MrsConfused
Posts: 2 Newbie
Me and my husband were self employed, working 18 hrs each.
My husband has just started a temporary job working 37.5 hrs per week.
Our business is barely bringing in any money, so not sure whether I should continue with it.
With regards to working tax credit, will there be any difference in payments if I stop working whilst looking for a job (with my husband still working 37.5 hrs) compared to me carrying on working for 18hrs?
Obviously, our payments will decrease due to increase in husbands wages, but will it otherwise make any difference?
(We do have children)
