Working Tax Credits question
My son is in full time education and I receive Tax Credit for him.
He is earning a modest wage in part time employment and I'm concerned if
this is taken into consideration when calculating my Tax Credits.
Will his income have an effect on the Tax Credits I receive?

is this like an evening or Saturday type job?
So long as he is in full time education and you receive child benefit
for him then there is no problem - I doubt he even earns enough to pay tax?

He's over 18 and I thought I was therefore ineligible for Child Benefit. Is
this correct?
He is close to the threshold and despite in full time education this is a
bit more than a paper round.
Many thanks for your reply.

I don't know the answer then - how old is he? 19? If older than 19 then
you shouldn't be getting anything for him.

Depends, see:

http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/childbenefit/child-16.htm
I thought the tax credits rules were the same, but they don't seem to
be

At 18 and in full time education you would still be able to get child
benefit / tax credits for him. Many 18 year olds and still at school /
college work Saturday and Sundays, for example, and can quite easily
earn a fairly decent amount. But so long as they are in full time
education then tax credits etc are payable. Up to the day they turn 20,
in fact, so long as they are still in full time education (non-advanced
full time education, meaning the course has to be below degree or
equivalent level).

Many thanks for your help. I've just filled out and posted a form applying
for Child Benefit.
