Tax Credit HEADACHE!

Going on SMP in July 2018.
Wage 25k tax year 2017/2018 so entitlement = 0
Tax year 2018/2019 is where it gets confusing !
Working until June so (so 2/3 months full pay) then 6 weeks full pay at start of maternity leave, then SMP rate of £140.00 per week for pretty much rest of tax year (until April 2019) giving estimated annual income of approx 12,000 I've worked it out as.
Is this the figure you give on the form? Hard to be exact to the penny? Or just you just say 25k again and then tell them when on SMP and then tell them when you are back to work?! Won't this cause an over-payment?!
Thanks.

Failure to declare that you're living together will cause more than an overpayment.0

Often not.
But would you want to take the chance.0 -

NoNoDrama didn't like the replies he'd received. He went trawling through other posters thread history and made some very unkind comments to a helpful poster.

I believe you added to this thread after NonoDramas post had been deleted, quite rightly so too. Mine was deleted too.
They did not like the replies they received so made a nasty remark about one of the respected posters on here, I was going to report the post too, seems like someone beat me to it.0 -
