Hello. I hope someone can help me.
My earnings this year have gone down from last years, should I apply for tax credits again? I am still working 30 hours
I don't want to waste 45 minutes on phone calls, so would appreciate any help
thank you

what was your 13/14 income and how much do you expect your 14/15 income to be
they ignore the first £2.5k of decrease so if you were on £16k and will now be on £12k, they will base your claim on £14.5k so you would not qualify unless you had children or disability, assuming you are single0 -
Hi thanks for the reply.
Last years income was about 12k this years is down to 10 gross before any deductions
I'm single no kids. Thanks again.0
