nikki-red   308 #30 Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) Is that 24 hrs combined or per person. I work 40 hrs and my partner 16hrs. How would we stand?   from http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/MoneyTaxAndBenefits/TaxCredits/DG_194914    Couples with children - new working hours rules for Working Tax Credit Before April 2012, couples responsible for children, with one partner working at least 16 hours a week, could get Working Tax Credit. From 6 April 2012, the rules for couples with children have changed. Single people who are responsible for children (for example single parents) are not affected by the new rules. If you're a couple with children, your joint working hours now usually need to be at least 24 a week to qualify. This means: if you both work, your joint weekly hours must be at least 24, with one of you working at least 16 hours a week if only one of you works, that person must be working at least 24 hours a week Edited April 6, 2012 by nikki-red Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
