Can children get a part time job - when you are claiming child tax credit for them?

[kappa234]

I was wondering if anyone can help. Can children get a part time job - when you are claiming child tax credit for them?
I'm a single parent , work 30 hrs per week and receive child tax credit for my son, he's in his last year of further education ( he's 18). He wants to get a part time job, over christmas to help save up for when he goes to university next year ( hopefully). Does any one know if this will impact on the child tax credit - does any one have experience of this ?
Thank you in advanced for any help

No it won't impact on child tax credits. As long as your ds is in full time education his earnings are irrelevant.

No it is fine.
