Does anyone know about Child tax credit in the UK?
Child Tax CreditNine out of ten families with children can get tax credits. Child Tax Credit is a means-tested allowance for parents and carers of children or young people who are still in full-time education or approved training.





Who can get it?


All families with children can claim Child Tax Credit if their income is no more than £58,175 a year (up to £66,350 if you have a child under one).





You don’t have to be the child's parent to be eligible, but you must be the main person who's responsible for them.











How much will you get?


The amount you get depends on various things, including your annual income.





The payment is made up of two elements:





a family element paid to any family with at least one child and worth up to £545 (2006-2007 tax year)


a child element paid for each child in the family and worth up to £1,765 (2006-2007 tax year)





You may get more if you care for a child under one or a disabled child.





The other tax credit you may be entitled to, if either you or your partner is working, is called Working Tax Credit, and this includes a childcare element to help families who are working and spending money on childcare.
