500,000 people told to check two words on envelope or risk losing tax credits

Around 1.5 million tax credits renewal packs for the 2023-24 tax year have been issued to people, HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has said, and those who want to keep claiming have just 30 days left to apply.

More than 500,000 tax credits customers will need to reply to HMRC by a deadline to confirm their circumstances for the 2023-24 tax year, or they could risk having their payments stopped. Once people receive their pack, they will have until July 31 to check the information is correct and notify HMRC of any changes to their circumstances which may affect their claim.

There are two types of renewal packs, HMRC said. One has a red line across the first page and says “Reply now”. Those receiving this will need to confirm their circumstances to renew their tax credits.
