Tax credits overpayment

3 replies

I looked on my online tax credits account today as it's nearly the end of the tax year and was going through each section. I went into childcare and it asked am I paying for childcare? I selected no as daughter started school in September it then asked when did I stop paying. I quickly realised I forgot to inform hmrc of this change as I'm a busy single mum trying to work. It honestly didn't cross my mind as my only child was starting school. I would need to pay back around 7 months - how do they do this? And do I need to call them now or wait until my form comes through to renew? Thank you!

You should get a separate overpayment information page.
Then a few weeks later a demand payment sheet. .
Overpayment has its own phone option and can spread the repayments.

I am repaying £1700 @£15 a month -

may be best to call them and tell them. They will find out, and you don't want it to look like you are trying to hide it. I paid back an overpayment over about 5 years
