What happens next

After the tax year ends on 31 March we work out your tax credit. We'll be in touch if we need more information.

If you have a tax debt we'll put your tax credit towards your debt and refund you any remaining money. Otherwise we'll pay your tax credit into your bank account. We pay most tax credits by June each year.

If you're an IR3 filer we'll hold your tax credit until you've filed your IR3 tax return and we can confirm your income.
