Working Tax Credit is a tax credit for working people on low incomes. It is designed to help with the cost of working, such as childcare, travel to work, and other expenses. You can apply for Working Tax Credit if you are aged 16 or over and have an income of less than 16,500 a year.
Working Tax Credit can make a significant difference to your income. For example, if you are a single parent with two children, you could get up to 3,000 a year. Working Tax Credit is also paid tax-free, so you don’t have to pay any tax on it.
