HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has warned that thousands of people on Tax Credits have until the end of this month to renew their claim or risk having their payments stopped.
The annual deadline is July 31 and more than 300,000 claimants who received a renewal pack with a red line across the first page and the words ‘reply now’ still need to confirm their circumstances for the current tax year to continue receiving payments.
Circumstances that could affect Tax Credits payments include changes to living arrangements, childcare, working hours or a change in income.
