Does anyone know what you have to do to qualify for this. I am looking to go back to work part time ( 20hrs per week) after being on maternity leave and I have been told that I don't qualify?. I know other people who work full time and get it? How is it calculated? Many thanks
If you are a single parent then you almost certainly qualify for Child Tax Credit (unless your income is above about �50K pa.). Whether you also qualify for Working Tax Credit depends on your income.
If you are one of a couple both credits depend on the joint income of you & your partner.
You shopuldnot be looking at Working Tax Credit alone - the system should be showing whether you are entitled to both, or just CTC, or neither.
