Extra Child Tax Payment X2 Yesterday?

3 replies

I just wondered if anyone else has received an unexpected additional payment of tax credits yesterday?

We got our usual payment of 80-ish on Thurs. Was randomly checking my bank this morning as we have a few bits and bobs to get today and I noticed that 2 extra payments had gone in yesterday...neither for our normal amount. One for 85-ish and another for about 30.

I've moved it somewhere separate so it isnt spendable in case it's an error and they want it back. I'm a bit clueless really...normally I wouldn't bat an eyelid if we were close to the new tax yr, but we're 2 months away!

any changes to your claim? new job, change in hours, etc?

Nope - no changes since I did our last return last year!

On your award notice after renewal did it mention a potential payment at all?
