Tax credits

[tinkerbell86]

I've received a letter saying I might be entitled to wtc for last year. I know you can earn so much and that you take that off what you earned buy do they do that or do you have to work it out? As I just gave them what was on my p60.

Any help would be great!

I didnt realise i could get tax credits. I've rung them today and they've said im entitled to £3,100 until April next year!!!!! I'm so pissed off though because I could have claimed for the last year but they are saying I can't back date it i'm gutted.

Ring them as soon as you can and get the ball rolling. It only takes five mins, they send you a form and you have to go in and meet someone in person...but its worth it even if its a tenner here and there.

Sorry to sound naive but when would an individual be eligible for tax credits?

They'll ask you all they need to know on the phone. We weren't entitled to any as we earned too much! Even though OH is barely over minimum wage and I was on SMP!
