How to claim



[ch 5: page 70]

Order a claim form at: www.gov.uk/claim-tax-credits. It can take up to two weeks to arrive.



If you are already claiming tax credits you don’t need a claim form to tell the tax office about a change in your circumstances (see www.gov.uk/changes-affect-tax-credits). Claims have to be renewed once a year.
