  • any help on this one as i quite worried about it thanks
  • im not to sure on tax credits and self employed but my husband does a lot of over time each year so our tax credits is worked out on last years income and not his basic income for this year, as we were very overpaid one year and i didnt want to get into that situation again

    could you maybe not tell them to work it out on his last years income and then if he earns a bit more then your payments would only drop slightly, if he earns less then they would pay you the extra
