Hi I wonder if anyone can advise me on this.
I am on maternity leave and when I go back to work full time I know I will be entitled to get working tax credits to help with childcare.
However I'm also entitled to quite a few paid "keep in touch" or KIT days while on leave. I plan take these on regular days before I go back, for example, I'll go to work every Monday for the last eight weeks of my leave. I'll need to pay for childcare for these KIT days.
My question is, can I start claiming working tax credits then, or do I need to wait until I go back full time?
