Child Tax Credit

Child tax credit (CTC) is paid to people in or out of work and who are responsible for at least one child or young person.

CTC can be paid until the young person reaches 20 years old in some circumstances.

You can claim as a couple or an individual, with the amount of CTC paid dependant upon your income(s). Extra money can be paid if the child has disabilities.

You can get Working Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit at the same time.

WTC and CTC are claimed from HM Revenue and Customs on 0845 300 3900 or at www.hmrc.gov.uk Opens in a new window
