Tell them to call and explain how much for each tax year. So for example if they made a claim to tax credits in the 2012/13 tax year they should report the figures for 2011/12 to date. Do not just submit it for the current return because if they do checks it would appear they have tried to hide it for previous years. Tax credits are constantly doing compliance checks now and it would be easy for them to check the self assessment records for themselves. Best that it is reported by them.
-
It is based on the gross figures, not the take home pay. Can you confirm this amount please? It is only based on last year's income unless the current year income increases by £5000 or decreases by £2500. Have you told them what you expect to earn in this tax year?
-
Because your claim is based on what you earn for the full tax year. This is the same for everyone who claims. This will allow them to check what you were paid was correct and calculate any under/overpayments. If employed they will also get the pay details via RTI (Real Time Information).
-
It's hard to comment with only last year's income. What do you expect the household income to be this year? This needs to be the gross amount, not the take home pay. How many hours will you be working? How much will the childcare be?
-
Normally they only backdate for one month.
-
If the overpayment is for WTC, it would be HMRC and not DWP that deal with it. The tax credit helpline should be able to tell you the reason for the overpayment, if any other communication was previously sent, what you can now do (next actions will depend on the reason/time limits etc).

Rossendales chasing disputed Overpayment Tax Credits
blondebubbles replied to Onedale's topic in HMRC
They don't take it directly from wages but adjust your tax code to recover the money that way. If you make then a reasonable offer to pay back directly each month then they won't do this. They would notify you in advance if they plan to do this. http://www.revenuebenefits.org.uk/tax-credits/guidance/how-to-deal-with-hmrc/dealing-with-debt/#recovery_via_PAYE -

Depends what country you are in - https://www.gov.uk/know-when-you-can-leave-school OP you may be able to get CTC for an extra 20 weeks or until your child turns 18 (which ever is earlier) if he registers with the local careers service, Connexions or local authority support service (or the Education and Library Board in Northern Ireland)

It won't make a difference then. It only starts to reduce if you earn over £6420. -
Help!tax credits overpayment...again?
blondebubbles replied to Kayls1989's topic in Benefits and HMRC
It depends what the income was for the year before. -
CTC - Doesn't include savings but does include any interest over £300 per year.
-
If it was from an ended claim they wouldn't have been able to eg if this overpayment was from a joint claim and now claims single. This has only just recently changed.
-
Basically, it's total taxable income received minus loss.
-
I googled 'tax credit income losses' it was the first thing that came up. Hope it helps.

Have you tried using their helpsheet? https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tax-credits-income-working-sheet-tc825

Did you ask them why the DWP are dealing with an HMRC debt?
-
1. You need to first establish who is sending these letters as DWP don't deal with HMRC debts. There are some spam letters/emails that go about. 2. If you want an accountant to deal with this then a form 64-8 is required (I included a link earlier). This form gives an accountant authority to discuss these matters on your behalf. Without this they cannot discuss your claim with HMRC. 3. Make a subject access request to HMRC for all records relating to this tax credits claim. This should then show what information they held at the time of the claim and any contact either way including details of any appeals/tribunals. You can do this here - https://online.hmrc.gov.uk/shortforms/form/DPU_SAR

In 2006 tax credits were administered by HMRC and not DWP. There is no reason why DWP would write out about this. Are you sure it's not for some other kind of benefit? The helpline closed at 8, but would have been busy before this as this is their peak period. What was the problem on the line? HMRC can only speak with an accountant if they have authority to speak to them, has form 64-8 been sent to tax credits? https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tax-agents-and-advisers-authorising-your-agent-64-8 A letter from an accountant saying that the person never claimed wouldn't be enough to drop the overpayment. This would mean that someone would have hijacked their identity (or records as been mismatched some how) and checks would need to be done on this.
-
I did ask to clairfy who the letters are from. That was my first question. The tax credit helpline is available from France, there is an overseas helpline for claimants who live abroad. https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-revenue-customs/contact/tax-credits-enquiries
-
As mentioned, tax credits are administered by HMRC and not DWP. Can you clarify who the letter is from? You can make a subject access request to see any relevant records of the claim. Tax credits debts cannot be taken to court after 6 years although can be recovered by other means eg tax code, future benefits, direct payments etc. What line has he been calling? The payment helpline? The tax credit helpline?
-
The only thing I would add to this is that is the guidance for DWP. Tax credits are administered by HMRC who do not always have the same rules.
-
No problem, it is essentially the same thing anyway. Many employers still use the P46 because that's what they know.
-
Without a P45, your employer would need to complete a starter checklist with you (which replaced the P46). Based on what you have said, you would select statement b - This is their only job, but since 6 April 2015 they’ve had another job, or have received taxable Jobseeker's Allowance, Employment and Support Allowance or Incapacity Benefit. They don’t receive a State Pension or workplace pension They would then put you on tax code 1060L W1/M1. When you then get the P45, give it to your employer.

If you are single and not in a relationship with this person then you are not a couple and shouldnt claim as such. I'm sorry but I don't think it is clear from what you are saying whether you are in a relationship with this person. Even if you were to get a joint mortgage with someone, you wouldn't consider marriage unless there was some sort of romantic relationship?
