Who gets child benefit n tax credit?

It's impossible to say definitively who gets Child Benefit and Tax Credits without more information. The eligibility criteria are complex and vary depending on your specific circumstances.

However, here's a general overview of who is eligible:

Child Benefit

* You must be responsible for a child under 16 (or under 20 if they are in approved education or training).

* The child must live with you in the UK for at least half the time.

* You must be a resident in the UK.

* You must be either a parent or a guardian.

* You must be receiving a UK state pension or be subject to UK tax.

Tax Credits

* You must be working at least 16 hours per week or be self-employed.

* You must have a low income.

* You must be responsible for a child.

* You must be a resident in the UK.

Important Notes

* Income Limits: There are income limits for both benefits, and your eligibility may be affected if your income exceeds these limits.

* High Income Child Benefit Charge: If you have a high income (over £50,000), you may have to pay back some of the Child Benefit you receive.

* Child Tax Credit: This is a payment for families with children. It is paid directly to the parent or guardian, not through an employer like Working Tax Credit.

How to Find Out If You're Eligible

* The easiest way to find out if you are eligible for Child Benefit and Tax Credits is to use the government's online benefits calculator. You can access this calculator through the GOV.UK website.

* You can also contact the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) directly for advice.

Remember: It's crucial to check your eligibility as the rules and criteria for benefits are constantly changing.
