It’s time to renew your tax credit claim. HMRC have sent out renewal packs to Tax Credits claimants for the tax year 2011-12. If you want to renew your claims, make sure that you submit the forms before the 31 July 2011. This is the deadline, miss this and your payments may stop,and you may lose entitlement for the period to your claim.
The tax credits helpline number is 0845 300 3900.
Claimants should make sure that the information given in their claim is accurate. HMRC may check earnings details with employers.
Information you will need to report includes:
- Working hours
- Childcare costs
- Pay
- Income details 2010-11.
Claimants on “nil awards” and those that only receive the full family element of Child Tax Credit will receive a statement setting out their 2010-11 award. If this statement is correct there is no further action to take, your claim should automatically be renewed.
