I have a customer who is a finacial advisor and he asked me today if i had any kids, the answer being yes and then the next question, would you like £520?

There was some tax code change in this year but its not been made public and you have to chase it. So

You can claim the Children's Tax Credit if all of the 3 following apply

1, You have a child living with you for a least part of the tax year which you are claiming
2, the child was under the age of 16 years at the begining of the tax year for which you are claiming for
3, the child is you own (including step or adopted)

I have wrote this out quickly as i cant copy and paste it. I think it is if you had a child between 1986 and 2003 you can claim for this money.

Take a look for yourself, you could be £520 better off...and if you do remember me in your will.

a few on other forums have been getting the money, it does actually go up to just over 1 K if your earnings are below a certain threshold

Ive just had a quick search, little more info

Parents - Does The Taxman Owe You £1,500?
If you had a child born between 1985 and 2003 you may have missed a tax refund worth up to £1,500. Did you:

Q2- Work and pay tax (or live with a partner who worked and paid tax) between April 2001 and April 2003?
Q3- Did the highest earner in the family earn £6,000+ in one or both years?

just a update on the whole thing

you had to send it to your local tax office, they decided they couldnt cope, so boxed them up and the tax office set up a special dept for the claims in leeds ( at least i think it was leeds ) all the forms then got sent to leeds, they say it will be UPTO 3 months before they get them all done

Hi Guys,

I heard about this last week, the only thing I would add is that you need to get your form in by the 31st Jan! Don't hold me to this though, I'm just going on what I've been told!

Cheers

yes

Can do it over the phone - 0845 300 0627 which is quicker

Website is www.hmrc.gov.uk/forms/11ctc.pdf for the form but need to do it fairly quickly.

At least by phone you know it's done - can't rely on the post.
