Hello,
I'm a foster carer who didn't realise I should be paying taxes!
I've been fostering for almost 2 years now.
At the moment I claim income support whilst I have a placement and job seekers allowance when I don't. I also get council tax reduction and free prescriptions/dental treatment etc whilst claiming these.
My question is, if I register as self employed, I'm under the impression that I can claim working tax credit, is that right? Do you know how much it is a week (income support and job seekers is around £70 a week).
Also win WTC can I still get council tax reduction and free prescriptions etc?
Thankyou for your time
