Child/working tax... help

5 replies

Hi I'm hoping someone could help me on here. I am currently contracted to 24 hours at work @ 7.83 an hour. I receive working tax of £76 a week and child tax of £115 a week. I am due to be upping my hours to 30 in September. I have just done a calculation on entitledto and it says I will lose my working tax and just have child tax of £82. Does this seem correct? Its a lot of money to lose. Also if I do up my hours to 30 would I also lose the free prescription and dentist? Thank you

If you no longer get etc your prescriptions, opticians and dental help stop too. Don't forget to factor in the extra wages that will counter the loss of some tc but sadly the rate they drop by is very off putting.

Are you a single parent? On 30 hours your wage still means you should get working tax credits, however if you have a partner it’s based on household income not just yours.

I do have a partner but he doesn't work and doesnt get any benefits x

That doesn’t add up to me... I don’t want to put details of amounts I get on here but I’ll send you a private message if that’s ok.
