Hi. My husband is on a low wage and we are therefore get the full tax credits. My kids are now both at school and I therefore want to get back to work. I want to work on a relief basis as there are no permanent contracts about in my field of work at the moment. My husband (who I suspect wants me at home cooking, cleaning and doing school runs) is saying that if I start work I must not tell tax credit people as they'll stop our money while they re do our claim and in that time we'll lose the house (drama, drama, drama!!). He says we'll tell them on next years renewal as he feels we'll be in a better financial position then and can repay any overpayment we may get (goodness knows how). I have looked on tax credit website and it looks like if we do this we can be fined £300.
Sorry, this is so boring. My question is has anyone had a change of circumstances like this to tell tax credit people about, and did your money stop completely while they re-did your claim.
Thanks
