Easter falls on Sunday, April 9 this year which means some Child Benefit payments due to arrive on bank holiday Monday will be paid on Thursday, April 6. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has also updated online guidance for people in receipt of Working Tax Credits or Child Tax Credits due on Good Friday or Easter Monday - these will also be paid on April 6.
