confused by tax credit system

Welsh_mum2be · Sep 4th, 2009, 06:01 AM

Hi,

Is anyone else really confused by the tax credit system? I have no idea of how much I will be getting when the baby is here, and I dont really know who to contact to find out.

Do they go through this with you at the hospital?

Thanks

no, to be truthefull the helpline is usually the best place, but i dont think you can get a real figure until after the baby is born, also when they ask you your earnings im pretty sure that MA counts as a benefit, so it does not count as income.

Hi hun, no they don't go through this at the hospital.

I'm a single mum & i got for my 1st :
£60 ish a week child tax, £20 pwk child benefit. When my 2nd is born i'll still be single mum & i'll get an extra £53 ish a wk for bump child tax & an extra £13 child benefit.

Check online hun www.entitledto.co.uk i think
