Hi
Am trying to get my head around the child tax credits system. When I had a recent 'lone parent interview' at the job centre, the woman seemed to indicate that if I had a 30k job that I would not get anything towards child care, and also I have heard that if you earn over 30k you only get minimal child tax credit (and vaguely remember David Cameron saying that this would be reduced to 28k).
But when I went on 'entitled to' it seemed to say that I'd get around 9k a year credits, if I was working a 30k job (with 3 kids in childcare).
So my question is, if you are a lone parent earning around 30k do you receive any child tax credits, or anything towards child care.
Many thanks
