HMRC alert for everyone with Post Office accounts for benefits and tax credits

Thousands of people receiving tax credit and benefits payments risk having their money stopped if they don't switch their accounts within the next month, warns HMRC.

This is because the tax office is no longer depositing any of the state benefit payments it's responsible for into Post Office card accounts after April 5, 2022.

While most state support comes from the Department for Work and Pensions, some is handled by HMRC which is responsible for Child Benefit, Working Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, and Guardian's Allowance.
