Tax Credit warning for renewals
|
| Tax Credit customers are being reminded by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) that they must renew claims by 31 July – or their payments might stop. HMRC will start sending Tax Credit renewal packs to about 5.8 million people from this week until the end of June. They are urged to act as soon as they receive a renewal pack. More than 3.7 million claimants renewed by the deadline last year, 90 per cent of those who were required to renew their claim. |
