A to Z of services
Tax Credits
Tax credits are payments from the government. If you're responsible for at least one child or young person who normally lives with you, you may qualify for Child Tax Credit. If you work, but are on a low income, you may qualify for Working Tax Credit.
Child Tax Credit
If you have a new baby or you're responsible for any children under the age of 16 - or under 20 if they're in full-time education or approved training - you may be able to claim Child Tax Credit to help with the cost of looking after them.
Working Tax Credit
Working Tax Credit is a payment to top up the earnings of low paid working people (whether employed or self-employed). You don't need to have children to qualify. Working Tax Credit helps to make work pay for low income workers.
