in Cutting tax
Im not sure if this is the correct area to ask but I am TOTALLY confused regarding todays budget. Me and my partner have 4 children ages 17 (doing A levels), 12, 6 and 3. My partner works full time on minimum wage and I am a stay at home mum where I home educate the children. We get his wage supplemented with working tax and child tax credits. What I want to know is, in April 2017 will we only get tax credits for the younger 2 and not the older 2? Also when I can no longer claim for my eldest will I claim for the 12 and 6 year old? :huh:

Existing children not affected. If you want another one have it born before April 2017 and you'll get tax credits for that child too...until child leaves home.:footie:
Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S)
Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money.
