Possible overpayment

Hello

The tax credits people have my husband down for earning estimated at £33k for this year, last year was £30k. . I earned in carers 1400, this year 3400. Could anyone work out the overpayment if my husbands salary was actually £36k by end of tax year and how much we would have to pay back? Thank you.

    An additional £3,000 in income would cause an overpayment of approx £1,230
  • Many thanks for that also as we pay childcare too...it's our 1st year doing so and we get some towards it...do I send in the last 12 months invoices from nursery on renewal?
  • Would they stop the tax credits till paid off?

    You only need to provide proof if they ask for it.

    They will take back a percentage until repaid (likely 50% based on your level of income).
  • Thanks for ur help! That's great
