[Admiral Huddy]

Heads up for those with Children who were aged under 16 between 6th April 2001 & 5th April 2003 :

Apparently there were only two tax years that this benefit was available but we have already missed claiming for the first year as 5 years have passed. You then have up to 31st January this year to get your claim in for the 2nd year.


Read the attachment, ring you tax office to check (unless you already know you claimed this) and fill in the form and send it off - £520 then comes your way !

form here:

Hmmmm, that is rather interesting!

*counts back to see if I was under 16 then, and forwards form to parents*

Does it matter about your parents income?

Someone I know has done this and when she called she was told to send the form to her local tax office, not the one in Preston...

Although it's not strictly means tested, it tapers off for higher-rate tax payers. If more than £7,935 of your income is at the higher rate than it goes to 0. In 2002-2003 it was higher rate from £29,900 - so if your wage was £37,835 or more then you won't get anything.

Well that's my reading of it anyway.

Ah I had no idea when we sent ours and I just got the address off the tax credits site.

To those planning on sending this info to your parents, don't be too dissapointed when you find out that they claimed, and spent, this money a long long time ago, on a gas bill far far away.

 

[Dark_Angel]

Thanks for the info, I passed it along to people I know with children
