Non entitlement based on previous year
Wed 06-Apr-05 10:12 AM |
Client circumstances: Married, one child. Partner not working, client working 16 hours a week, earning £6.06 per hour.
They receive child ben and CTC but not WTC. it appears that they are not entitled as their joint earnings in the previous tax year (2003/2004)were above the limit.
End result is they are trying to live on an income of approximately £126 per week, OK, today is start of new tax year, and he can put in a new claim for WTC based on 2004/2005, but it seems rediculous that prior to today he wasn't entitled - is that indeed the case?
Sorry about what may be an obvious question, but we have a IRS call office locally, so most claimants deal directly with them.
