Tax credits are a state benefit which is generally available to lower income families. However, the credits are significantly increased where individuals pay for childcare. To check whether you may qualify click on the HMRC website link below.

Individuals who have already claimed tax credits for 2005/06 have to finalise their provisional award for 2005/06 and to advise HMRC of any changes in their circumstances for 2006/07. This procedure is known as the renewals process. The deadline for the submission of tax credit renewals is 31 August 2006 and HMRC have been busily advertising this fact in the national press. The payment of tax credits will stop at the end of August if claimants have not renewed their applications by that date.

If you need any help with the completion of your form please do get in touch.
