Tax credits and familieson Income Support

Tax credits have already replacedpayments of child additions that weremade as parts of bene ts like CarersAllowance.

The government also wants Child TaxCredit to replace all Income Support (IS)and income-based Jobseekers Allowance

(ibJSA) payments for children. Newclaims for IS/ibJSA only include amountsfor the claimant and their partner, with aseparate Child Tax Credit claim requiredfor any children.

Families who have been getting IS/ibJSAsince April 2004 have the option of continuing to get amounts for childrenincluded in their award. However, at somepoint before 2012, they will automaticallybe moved onto Child Tax Credit. Once

you get tax credits, you only get the adultamounts of IS/ibJSA with a separate ChildTax Credit payment for children. Mostparents will continue to get IS/ibJSA at areduced rate, but some families may ndthat they no longer get IS/ibJSA whenamounts for their children are removed.

The government expects most parentson IS/ibJSA to be better off or see nochange in their weekly income as a resultof moving onto Child Tax Credit. However,a very small number could be worse off.For more information contact our helplineor see our guide Child Tax Credit andIncome Support.

Can I claim Working TaxCredit?

To claim Working Tax Credit you must be:

aged 16 years or over, and living in the UK and not subject to

immigration control (with someexceptions), and

working for at least 16 hours per week and be responsible for one or morechildren.

Note: Some other workers withoutchildren can claim Working Tax Credit (forexample, disabled workers). If you dontcare for a child, you should seek advicefrom a local citizens advice bureau (CAB)or welfare rights service.

To assess whether you work for at least16 hours a week, the Revenue count thehours you normally work, ignoring unpaidmeal breaks. So if you work overtime

most weeks, the extra hours will beincluded.

There are special rules to allow somepeople to qualify who were workingbut have temporarily stopped, includingterm-time only school workers, womenon Statutory Maternity Pay or MaternityAllowance, people on Statutory Adoptionor Paternity Pay, and some people whoare off work sick (contact our helpline formore details).

If you stop working or reduce your hoursto below 16 hours, you can continue toreceive Working Tax Credit for four weeks.However, you must tell the Revenueabout this change in circumstances withinone month.

Extra help from Working Tax Credittowards childcare costsIf you spend money on childcare whenyou work, your claim for Working TaxCredit may include help with eligiblechildcare costs. For childcare costs to betaken into account, you must either be:

a lone parent who works at least 16hours per week, or

a couple who both work 16 hours or

more a week, or a couple where one member works 16hours or more a week and the otherreceives certain disability or incapacitybene ts (or they are in hospital orprison).

What type of childcare costs can betaken into account?Only registered or approved childcarecan be taken into account. This includesregistered childminders, nurseries and

other schemes run by approved providers.Care in the childs own home can also becounted if it is provided by someone whois registered or approved.

Childcare provided by a relative in thechilds home is not counted, even if therelative is an approved childcarer.

If a child is on Disability Living Allowance(DLA) or registered blind, childcare costscan be included until the September aftertheir 16th birthday. Otherwise childcarecosts can only be included until theSeptember after their 15 th birthday.

The maximum amount of childcare thatcan be taken into account is 175 perweek for one child, and 300 per week for two or more children. But only 80 percent of childcare costs can be met. Thismeans the most that can actually be paidtowards childcare costs is 140 a week for one child (80 per cent of 175) and240 a week for two or more children(80 per cent of 300). These are themaximum amounts payable and theactual amount you will get depends onyour income and family circumstances.

Contact a Family produce a guide Finding

and paying for childcare, available freefrom the helpline. It gives more detailedinformation on eligible childcare costs.

There are proposals to trial an increase inthe maximum amount of childcare costsmet by tax credits for working families

Can I claim Child TaxCredit?

To claim Child Tax Credit, you must be:

aged 16 years or over, and living in the UK, not be subject to

immigration control and have the rightto reside in the UK, and

responsible for one or more dependentchildren.

Child Tax Credit can be claimed whetheryou are in work or not and is paid inaddition to Child Bene t. It can be paid byitself or alongside Working Tax Credit.

The amount of Child Tax Credit that youreceive may be higher if you have a childon Disability Living Allowance (DLA). Thisis because an extra amount known as thedisability element is added to your taxcredit calculation for each child who getsDisability Living Allowance (DLA) or isregistered blind. If your child gets the highrate of the DLA care component, a further

severe disability element is also added.How are tax credits paid?Working Tax Credit is paid to the parentwho is working, except for any childcarecosts. Child Tax Credit and any WorkingTax Credit towards childcare costs arepaid to the childs main carer. Paymentsare usually made into a bank account.You can choose weekly or four-weeklypayments.

What is taken intoaccount in calculating my tax credit award?

The amount of tax credits that youreceive depends on your familyspersonal circumstances and onyour annual income. The personalcircumstances taken into account aredetailed below.

For Working Tax Credit Whether or not you are a lone parent or

a member of a couple. Whether you work 30 hours or more a

week (it is usually possible to add yoursand your partners hours together).

Whether you have a disability. Whether you or your partner get the

high rate DLA care component. Whether you have eligible childcare

costs. Whether you are aged 50 or over and

have recently been on certain bene ts.

For Child Tax Credit The number of dependent children you

have. Whether you have a baby aged under

one.

The number of children who get anyrate of DLA or are registered blind. The number of children who get high

rate DLA care component.

Calculating incomeYour entitlement to tax credits alsodepends on your annual taxable income.Although tax credits are income-basedyou should not assume that you have toomuch money to qualify.

You are guaranteed some Child Tax Creditso long as your income is less than58,000 (66,000 if you have a babyaged under one). In some circumstances,you may get tax credits even if yourincome is above these gures, forexample, if you have more than one childon DLA and have substantial eligiblechildcare costs. If you are a part of acouple then your partners income iscounted. A dependent childs income isnever counted.

A tax credit award is usually assessed on

the income from the previous tax year.However, if your current years income islikely to be less than the previous years,an estimate of your current income canbe used instead. If your current yearsincome is likely to exceed your previousyears income by more than 25,000,then the current years estimated incomeminus 25,000 is used.

Even if you think your income will be toohigh to get tax credits, its worth making

a claim. This will protect your right tobackdated tax credits if you have anunexpected drop in income.

What income counts?Annual income before tax is counted. Asa general rule income that is taxable istaken into account. This includes:

gross earnings taxable pro ts from self-employment some social security bene ts including

Carers Allowance (see below for thosenot counted)

income from property income from capital pensions (state, private and

occupational) other income subject to income tax.


5/11

The tax credits guide8 The tax credits guide


What income is ignored?Some income is completely ignored fortax credit purposes. This includes:

maintenance payments most forms of student income adoption and fostering payments (but

not any reward element) Disability Living Allowance Attendance Allowance Child Bene t Guardians Allowance Income Support Income-based Jobseekers Allowance Income-related Employment and

Support Allowance Bereavement Payment Maternity Allowance the rst 100 per week of any Statutory

Maternity, Statutory Paternity or StatutoryAdoption Pay

Severe Disablement Allowance Short-term low rate Incapacity Bene t Transitional long-term Incapacity Bene t

(that is, in payment since before 13 th April 1995)

Industrial Injuries Bene t.

This list is not exhaustive and some otherforms of income are also ignored. Contactour helpline for details.

What if I have a lot of capital orsavings?There is no capital limit preventing a claimfor tax credits. Instead any taxable incomeyou get from your capital is counted, forexample, interest on your savings (unlessthey are in a tax free savings account likean ISA).

How much tax credit willI get?

The Revenue uses your familyscircumstances to work out a maximumtax credits entitlement. If you get IncomeSupport, income-based JobseekersAllowance, income-related Employmentand Support Allowance or PensionCredit, you are automatically entitled tomaximum Child Tax Credit.

If not, you need to compare your annualtaxable income to a set threshold. This is16,040 if you are only eligible for ChildTax Credit and 6,420 if you are also

eligible for Working Tax Credit (where youor your partner work 16 hours a week ormore).

If your income is at or below thethreshold, youll get the maximum taxcredits for your circumstances. If yourincome is higher than the relevantthreshold, the award will be reduced.For every 1 of income you have abovethe threshold, your maximum tax creditsentitlement is reduced by 39p.

However, you are guaranteed at least545 per year as long as your annualtaxable income is less than 50,000. Thispayment is known as the family elementof Child Tax Credit. If your incomeexceeds 50,000 a year, the familyelement is gradually reduced.

Using the tablesThe following pages include some readyreckoner tables to help you estimatethe amount of tax credits you might get.Although tax credits are usually calculatedas an annual award, the tables showthe weekly equivalents. All amounts arerounded down to the nearest pound.Remember your award is normally basedon your previous years income.

If neither you nor your partner work forat least 16 hours a week, use Table 1.There are separate columns dependingon the number of children you haveand how many of them are disabled. Achild is classed as disabled if they areregistered blind or they are in receipt of Disability Living Allowance at any rate.Use the appropriate column to get anidea of how much tax credit a family inyour circumstances might get (rememberweekly amounts are used).

If you or your partner do work for atleast 16 hours a week, the table youshould turn to depends on the numberof children you have and how many of them are disabled. A child is classed asdisabled if they are registered blind orgetting Disability Living Allowance.

If you have one child and theyredisabled, use Table 2.

If you have two children and one of

them is disabled, use Table 3. If you have two children and both of

them are disabled, use Table 4. If you have three children and one of

them is disabled, use Table 5. If you have three children and two of

them are disabled, use Table 6.

What about if you pay for childcare?The amount of tax credits you receivemay be higher if you are paying foreligible childcare. Tables 2-6 have extracolumns showing the tax credit awardparents might get when theyre payingthe maximum amounts towards eligiblechildcare. See Extra help from WorkingTax Credit towards childcare costs forwhen childcare is counted. You cant gethelp with childcare costs if you are onlyeligible for Child Tax Credit.

If you get Income Support,income-based JobseekersAllowance, income-related Employment andSupport Allowance orPension Credit, you areautomatically entitled tomaximum Child Tax Credit.

The tax credits guide The tax credits guide 5


At the end of the tax year

Once awarded, a tax credit award normallylasts until the end of the tax year. TheRevenue then carry out an annual review.They issue you with a review pack outlining the personal details used tocalculate your existing award which youmust check for accuracy. You will be askedto con rm or to amend this informationand also to con rm your annual taxableincome for the year just ended.

Families who only get the basic familyelement of Child Tax Credit may not haveto complete a declaration form. If yourpersonal details are the same and yourincome is within certain bands (outlinedin the review pack), an award of the familyelement should continue automatically.Your renewal pack should make clearif this applies to you. However, if therehave been any relevant changes in yourcircumstances, you must notify the TaxCredit Of ce. All other families mustcomplete the declaration form.

When the Revenue get con rmation of your details, they will use it to calculateyour tax credit award for the new tax year.They will use the details to check whether

you got the right amount of tax credits inthe previous year.

If you have been underpaid tax credits,you should get a lump sum for anyarrears. If you have been overpaid taxcredits, the Revenue may try to recoverthe overpayment, usually by reducingyour award for the new tax year (seeWhat happens if I have been overpaid taxcredits on page 16).

It can take several months for the Revenueto receive con rmation of your details andto process your new award. Meanwhile, inthe rst few months of the tax year, theymake provisional payments based on yourlast reported income and circumstances.

Changes of circumstancesduring the tax year

Although a tax credits award will normallyrun until the end of the tax year, it canbe adjusted during the year if there isa relevant change of circumstances.Certain changes must be reported to theRevenue within one month or you willface a 300 penalty. These are:

a change in the number of adultsclaiming (for example, going from acouple to a lone parent or vice versa)

a reduction in average childcare costsby 10 or more for at least four weeksin a row

if you go abroad for more than eightweeks (12 weeks if you go abroad dueto an illness or bereavement)

if you stop working for at least 16 hoursa week

if your working hours drop from 30hours a week or more to below 30hours

you stop being responsible for adependent child or young person, forexample, if they are no longer normallyliving with you

a young person in your family stopsqualifying for tax credits. This mighthappen because a young person leavesfull-time non-advanced educationor because they start claimingEmployment and Support Allowance,

Incapacity Bene t or Income Support intheir own right

if a dependent child or young persondies.

Other changes of circumstance dont haveto be reported until the end of the year.But it may be in your interests to reportsome changes sooner. There is a threemonth backdating rule which meansyou may lose money if you delay tellingthe Revenue about a change that wouldincrease your tax credit award. The earliersection What is taken into account incalculating my tax credit award? on page

6 gives a brief overview of the kinds of circumstances that affect your award.

Starting to get Disability LivingAllowance (DLA) for the rst time orgetting an increase in DLAThere are some exceptions to the threemonth backdating limit. If your child isawarded DLA or has an existing DLAaward increased to the high rate forpersonal care, this can lead to extra ChildTax Credit payments.

So long as you notify the Tax Creditsof ce within three months of getting theDLA decision, any extra tax credits will bebackdated in line with the DLA award. Youshould take similar steps if you or yourpartner have health problems and getDLA in your own right.

If a change in circumstances reduces yourtax credit award, the reduction is alwaysbackdated in full. To avoid overpaymentsor underpayments, you should tell the TaxCredits Of ce about any relevant changesin circumstances as they happen.

Changes in incomeIf you have a change in income, you canchoose to tell the Revenue straight awayor leave it until the end of the tax year. If your annual income increases, it will haveno affect on your current years award,unless it goes up by more than 25,000.However, the increased income will becounted for tax credits in the following taxyear. Because of this, it is a good idea totell the Revenue as soon as your incomeincreases.

If you choose to wait until the end of theyear before telling them, you run the risk of being overpaid provisional payments

when you are waiting for the renewalof your claim (see At the end of the taxyear). This is because your provisionalpayments for the early part of the newtax year will be based on an arti cially lowincome.


9/11



Ultimately, if you wish to avoidoverpayments or underpayments of taxcredits, it is in your interests to reportsigni cant increases or drops in incomeas they happen.

What happens if I havebeen overpaid tax credits?

If you have been overpaid tax credits,the Revenue will normally try to recoverthe overpayment by reducing your taxcredit payments. However, they shouldnot recover any overpayment that isthe result of an of cial error, so long asyou have met all of your responsibilitiesas a claimant. Your responsibilitiesinclude providing them with accurateinformation, notifying them of changesof circumstances, checking your awardnotice for errors, checking that thepayments you actually receive match thepayments shown on your award noticeand contacting the Revenue if you do notunderstand your award notice.

If an overpayment was caused by anof cial error and you met all of yourresponsibilities, none of it should be

recovered. If it was caused by of cialerror but you also failed to meet anyof your responsibilities, the Revenuemay still agree to write off part of theoverpayment.

The Revenue also has the discretion notto recover an overpayment if you canshow that this will cause you hardship.

Seek advice if you are told by theRevenue that youve been overpaid or are

likely to be overpaid. If you dispute thatan overpayment has occurred or disputethe amount of the overpayment, you canlodge an appeal.

But if you accept youve been overpaid,you have no right of appeal against aRevenue decision to recover the money.Instead you can dispute their decision torecover it, using form TC846 available atWeb: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/forms/tc846.pdf

If they insist on recovery, you canchallenge this through the Revenuescomplaints procedure.

If you are disputing the recovery of an

overpayment on the basis of of cialerror, the Revenue should suspendfurther deductions until they havemade a decision on your case. Formore information about tax creditoverpayments, phone our helpline.

How can I get a tax creditdecision changed?

The Revenue can revise a decision if there is a change of circumstances, if they have made a mistake or if they think your award is wrong. If you disagree withtheir decision, you can appeal. The timelimit for appealing is 30 days from thedate of the decision. An appeal mustbe in writing and must say why you areappealing. Appeals can be made onform TC623, found at the end of lea etWTC/AP available from the Revenue.

Unless youre reporting a change of circumstances, its usually better to ask foran appeal rather than a revision. This isbecause the appeal deadline of 30 daysis not extended if you ask for a revisionand its turned down. Late appeals aresometimes possible up to one yearand 30 days after a decision. However,a late appeal is only granted in limitedcircumstances, so you should always tryand make sure you meet the normalappeal deadline.
