HMRC have flagged the 31 July deadline for renewal of tax credits claims and warned that claims will be examined ‘particularly closely’ as part of a clampdown on tax credit error and fraud.
The department will focus on statements concerning employment, self-employment, hours worked, childcare and children as well as any details that have changed since previous years’ claims.
‘If you don’t renew your claim before 31 July, your payments may stop,’ said Steve Lamey, HMRC’s Director of Benefits and Credits.
