    No, you won't receive anything.

    Thank you IQ for the quick reply, at the minute we get £111 per month as we were overpaid in previous years.
    At least we are forewarned.

    Yes, I calculated current entitlement as just over £1800, so with 25% recover £111 a month would be about right.

    The problem you are going to have is that after April 2017 you will only be eligible to claim for 2 children if you ever start to claim again.
  • Would like to be able to work out my CTC and/or WTC rates for next year myself. Can anyone please show me the correct way to do it please?

    Was thinking of paying into pension and want to play with the figures in advance rather than over commit.

    Single, 2 kids (11 and 12), full time employment, no disabilities.

    Love spreadsheets just don't know which figures to put it.


    Many thanks
  • Awesome. Don't flame me but it does seem that the incentive to pay into a pension is greater again. Every £1 I pay in going to get an additional 20p tax added and 48p added to my tax credit claim?
    Seems too good to be true? Have I worked that out correctly.

    Low mortgage, old car, no debts and frugal lifestyle so could afford it.
