Tax Credit Service

• Do you have children under 20 years old OR
• do you work over 30 hours* per week?

AHDS members could well be missing out on money they are entitled to receive because they assume tax credits are just for the low paid, do not understand the tax credit system or are put off claiming because they have been forced to pay money back in the past.

New research by HMRC has shown 1 in 4 of those entitled to Child Tax Credit worth at least £1,875pa. has not claimed it, and the latest reports suggest Britons will fail to claim over £8.5 billion of tax credits this year alone!

Tax credits are there to help boost your income and in some cases, the amounts can be very significant!

The average pay-out for Child Tax Credit is over £3,500pa. Unfortunately, the tax credit system is also incredibly complicated, with changes this year making it even harder to know how much you should be getting.

Through our partners at Tax Credit Solutions (TCS), our Tax Credit Service will tell you if you should be receiving tax credits and if so, how much.
If you should, it gives you a choice - complete the claim yourself, or pay a small fixed fee and take advantage of a fully managed service that will:

• Save you going through 24 pages of help notes and completing at least 12 pages of claim forms
• Tell you exactly how much money you should get every month
• Submit your completed claim forms to The Revenue
• Chase up your claim if there are any delays in paying out your money, saving you the time & stress of trying to get through to The Revenue helpline
• Make sure the amount of money The Revenue pays you is correct and sort it for you if it isn’t
• Remind you to tell TCS if your circumstances change so The Revenue can’t demand your money back
• Remove the need for you to have any on-going contact with The Revenue
• Provide instant answers to all your tax credit questions

*16 hours per week if you are over 59 years old
