If you're responsible for at least one child or young person who normally lives with you, you may qualify for Child Tax Credit.

If you work, but earn lower wages, you may qualify for Working Tax Credit.

The amount of tax credits you get depends on things like:

• How many children and young people you have living with you
• Whether you work - and how many hours you work
• If you pay for childcare
• If you have or any child living with you has a disability
• If you're aged 50 plus and are coming off benefits

Your payments also depend on your income. The lower your income, the more tax credits you may get.
