CMs claiming tax credits

4 replies

Is there a special section for CMs when working out tax credits?

I'm familiar with the special rules when in receipt of IS and have just looked at entitledto website which had a special section for CMing but it gave me a lower tax credit result than if I'd put in s/e earnings in the main section.

Any help would be appreciated! I have totally confused myself.

Totally confused me - what do you mean by special section? Would you not just fill out the form based on you being Self Employed - thus you put your Profit rather than Turnover?

Iirc correctly there's a section on the tax credit claim form to tick if you or your partner are a childminder (and I think there was one for part time firemen too?).

Hi there, Just have a question about tax credits......
do I have to work over 16 hours to claim. I am married with partner self employed too and full time.
What is this BOX to tick?

Isn't the 16 hours requirement for Childcare element of WTC?
