HMRC are in the process of sending out renewal packs to Tax Credits claimants for the tax year 2011-12. If you wish to renew your claims, make sure that you submit the forms before the 31 July 2011 deadline otherwise your payments may stop.
The tax credits helpline number is 0845 300 3900.
Claimants should make sure that any information returned on their claim form 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.
