Question: Can you claim child tax credit and still work part time? (UK)?

I know when I’m on maternity leave I can claim child tax credit and my partner can claim working tax credit, but once my maternity leave is over can I still claim child tax credit if Im working 6 hours a week?

Im abit unsure and confused about it all. What can I claim?

Answer: Yes you can still claim child tax credit. It isn’t related to working hours you just have to be the main carer for the child. You should be able to claim the family element, and new baby element after your little one’s born.

Your husband can still claim his working tax credits as long as your total household income doesn’t go over the threshold (£13K I think – may have gone up since I worked with people claiming tax credits).
