Child Tax Credits

I have received this from two sources, but you ned to act ASAP: cut off 31/01/2009.

1st Source:

The link below may prove to be worth a look for many of you or someone you know. It is with ref to family tax credit, but not as it is now.
Many families are entitled to this tax relief but do not know about it. Please do not dismiss this without checking the dates that it refers to.

Please pass to all office staff ASAP.

If the link does not work please do the following:

Google> search box www.hmrc.gov.uk > home page> search box 11ctc > then go for the 3rd option childrens tax credit.

Time is running out for any claims.

The message is ready to be sent with the following file or link attachments:

2nd Source:

Ladies and Gentlemen,



Not IT related, but please read, it may be worth your while:



Millions of pounds are owed to UK parents and families.

The year before tax credits were introduced, there was a different allowance available which was very poorly publicised by the Inland Revenue, now HMRC. You can still claim this £529 - £1,048 allowance and this website has been setup to help you do so.

IMPORTANT: Claims must be submitted by the 31st January 2009 deadline.

You are eligible to claim £529 allowance if:

§ You have a child born between 6th April 1986 and 5th April 2003.

§ The child lived with you for all or part of 2002/2003.

§ You worked and paid tax for all or part of 2002/2003.

You are eligible to claim £1,048 allowance if:

You can answer yes to the above questions and one of your children was born between 6th April 2002 and 5th April 2003.

Notes

§ Making the claim does not affect your current or future working / child tax credits.

§ Your marital status does not affect your claim. You may be eligible, if you were single, married or living with a partner.

§ You or your partner has to have earned £6,000+ in the 2002/2003 tax year.

§ If you have claimed the allowance back in 2002, you cannot claim it now.

§ If your final tax code on your April 03 P60 ended in a H or a T, you have already had the allowance.



So in essence you may be eligible, but need to claim by the deadline.



DO NOT USE AN ONLINE AGENCY!!!

§ Entitlements Agency will retain any interest and £94exc vat for processing/administration – this is a obviously a rip off.
