Following on from a couple of recent threads i thought I'd just make sure that everyone knows about Tax credits.
There are two sections to tax credits the first being child tax credit which is a benefit payable when you have child(ren) and you or your partner work over 16 hours per week. The second part is working tax credits and you do not need children to apply for this.
Basically if you are working or are working as a self employed person for 16 hours or more you may be entitled to this benefit. It is basically a top up for your earnings. You may also be entitled to additional benefits such as free eye care / prescriptions or dentistry.
