A little help applying for Tax Credits plz

Im filling in the forms and am currently in the process of leaving a job to start another one at the beginning of March 08

So the question 'How much do I earn a year' do I put down my old job and how much I have been paid from April 2007 or the new one and my expected salary in the coming year?

It also asks for my employers name and address...again do I put my old employer or the one I am starting to work for soon?

Thanks

  • It will ask for your current employer, if you havent got a job at present dont put one down.
    It also asks for 2006/07 income, put in the figure from your p60.

    Use the guidance notes that come with the form for this sort of advice.

    Jools, even with the guidance notes I get very confused with tax credit stuff. Personally, rightly or wrongly, I would put a covering note in with it explaining the situation exactly, then they should know what to do. (This is not 'proper' advice, just what I would do, and it may hold the process up while they query it with you).
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.
  • Cheers for that Whitewing and Coyote, im all quite new to this and thought id better check first.

    Guidance notes? huh?!
    as if our generation reads stuff like that! ;)
