Change of jobs

Hi All


At the moment I earn around £13900, income has not changed between this & the last tax year. I have been awarded a total of £392.84 (made up of bot CTC & WTC) per 4 weeks.


Im looking for a new job, one that will be a bit more so I lower my reliance on the tax credits, however if I was to say get a new job in a couple of months for £20000 would my award change this tax year or would it remain the same as its calculated on last years income?


Thanks

    It will change. I believe its initially based on last year but your actual entitlement is based on this year.

    It'll depend on what your income for this tax year will be rather than the new salary.
