Tax Credits

This section provides information on tax credits.

To be eligible for tax credits you must be aged 16 or over and usually live in the UK. You can also receive tax credits if you do not live in the UK but you are any of the following: 
  • a citizen of another country in the European Economic Area (EEA) and you work in the United Kingdom
  • a Crown Servant posted overseas
  • a citizen of a country in the European Economic Area (including the UK) living abroad and you receive a UK state pension or contributions-based Jobseeker's Allowance
Couples need to make a joint tax credits claim, you cannot claim as a single person.
 
There are two types of tax credits, Child Tax Credit and Working Tax Credit. 

Visit the Family Benefits section for more information on Child Tax Credit.
 

Visit the Work Benefits section for more information on Working Tax Credit. 

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) is the UK authority on Tax Credits. They can provide more information and can tell you if you are eligible to receive Tax Credits.

Visit the HMRC website to see if you are eligible for Tax Credits.
