HMRC warns payments for some Child Benefit and Tax Credits claimants will stop in April

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is warning customers with a Post Office card account they have less than eight weeks to update the department with new payment details before the April 5 deadline, or risk having payments paused.

From April 6, 2022, HMRC will stop making Tax Credits, Child Benefit and Guardian’s Allowance payments to Post Office card accounts. HMRC is urging account holders to contact them as soon as possible to update their bank account details to continue receiving payments without disruption.

HMRC said previously that customers can choose to receive their benefits and Tax Credits payments into a bank, building society or credit union account.
