Hi All,
Had a quick search but can't get an answer. Do redundancy payments count as income in regard to child tax credit claims?
Thank you.

Tax credits
For tax credits, the income to be declared is the same as taxable pay for income tax. So tax free redundancy amounts up to £30,000 can be ignored.0 -

Thank you, only 5k but would have pushed our income over the threshold for this tax year.0
