Child Tax Credit Notes
November 26th, 2009
Question: am i entitled to the childcare element of tax credits?
i am about to start working for my mom she is a registered childminder and i am working as her assistant so that she can care for more children (ratios) I was told by my jobcentre advisor that i would be able to claim the childcare element of tax credits when i start work for her and pay my mom to look after my daughter. i would have to do this as my daughter would take up one of the childcare places therefore limmiting the amount of children she can look after and reducing her income. since i spoke to my advisor i have seperated from my partner and me and my daughter have had to move back in with my parents. i am now worried that i wont be able to claim for my childcare costs as the tax credits notes say that i am not elegable if my daughtr is cared for by a relative in her own home. this means that my mom wont be able to pay me and i will have to work for nothing as we have already agreed to another child coming and i am needed to stay in ratio. please can some one help?
Answer: It’s not her/your own home though, it’s your parents who you are staying with temporarily surely? But I think your best bet is to phone them and explain the situation and see what they say. However, they are very mean with paying out and I wouldn’t hold your breath – sorry but I hope you get the money!!
City life in 2009: The fallout year
If politeness dictated that it was once rude to ask someone how much they earn, that rule went out of the window with Britain’s bankers in 2009. Their pay dominated the headlines and the airwaves like never before.
