How to claim
You can claim for tax credits either by calling 0845 300 900 or by filling in a claim form. It is important to make a claim as soon as you are entitled to the tax credit as any due amount can only be back dated for up to 3 months prior to you submitting your claim.
Sometimes it might be worth making a claim even if you think your income is too high to get any money at the moment. You might want to do this if you expect your income to go down later in the year, perhaps because of redundancy
When you make a claim you’ll need to give the Tax Credit Office details of your income for the last tax year. A tax year runs from 6 April one year to 5 April the next.
To make your claim you might need the following information to hand:
- your National Insurance number
- your Child Benefit reference number
- your P60 or wage slips for the last tax year if you were employed
- details of your income for the last tax year and your unique tax reference number (UTR) if you were self-employed
- details of any benefits you get like contribution based Jobseeker's Allowance or Carer’s Allowance
- details of other income you get like savings interest, pensions or rent
- details of any childcare payments you make if you use a registered or approved provider, including, for example, an out of school hours club on school premises
- details of the bank or building society account you want us to pay your tax credits into
