Hi everyone, I was just looking for some advice on going back to work and how it will affect our working tax credits. I have 2 little ones at 2 years and the other is 7months and my partner works full time but has a low income. We receive tax credits and really depend on them, I've recently been offered a part time job working on a 12 hour per week contract. I really want to take it but have been told by people it wouldn't be worth my while as whatever extra I make my tax credits would be lowered so I wouldn't actually be any better off especially after petrol etc.. Plus the stress of getting child care.. Is this true? Has anyone else been in this situation? I really want to do it as its a good job and will be good for me but my partners against it because he is saying it won't better us financially so in better of staying home with the children. I feel abit stuck now :/ any suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance :)
