HMRC RELEASE ******
Just one week left to renew your tax credits
There's just one week left to renew your tax credits claim before the 31 July deadline - otherwise, your payments will stop.
Renewing is simple - check the information in your renewals pack, and if your circumstances have changed, such as your working hours or pay, you'll need to tell HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).
If you need to update your details, the quickest and easiest way is to call the tax credits helpline on 0845 300 3900 - just make sure you've got all the information you need to hand, like your payslips, end of year P60 form, and details of your childcare arrangements. The helpline is available from 8.00am to 8.00pm, seven days a week.
Sarah Walker, HMRC Director of Benefits and Credits, said:
"If you're receiving tax credits, don't leave renewing until the last minute. Get it sorted out now, so we can make sure you're getting the right money."
