CTC and Child Benefit

Mounbeam

Hi hoping someone can help me, my daughter is 17 and is her last year at school, does anyone know what date her ctc and child benefit will stop? She’s not interested in staying on in further education 

Thanks

The end of the August after she leaves, I think.

it will not stop as long as she will be staying on in approved education and ensure that you will report it yearly. That was what HMRC told me, my son is doing Alevels and he is 18 now turning 19 this year and he still gets CTC and Child benefit but on September it will all stop as he will be studying higher education.

To confirm the 31st August date.

"What is a child or qualifying young person?

For CTC purposes a child is under the age of 16. CTC can be claimed for a QYP from their 16th birthday until the following 31 August. During this period there is no requirement that the young person be in full time education or training.

From 1 September following the QYP’s 16th birthday CTC can continue if the QYP is under 20 and in full time, non-advanced education, approved training or registered with a qualifying body for work or training (where the education/training is not provided as part of their work)."
