Usual working tax credits remain payable for COVID-19 affected workers

4th May 2020

People who can’t work their normal hours because of coronavirus (COVID-19) will still receive their usual tax credits payments, the government has confirmed today.

People can continue to claim Working Tax Credit and be treated as though they are working their normal hours, 

Those working reduced hours due to coronavirus or those being furloughed by their employer will not have their tax credits payments affected if they are still employed or self-employed.

HMRC does not need to be contacted about this as it will treat recipients as working their normal hours until the Job Retention Scheme and Self-Employment Income Support Scheme close, even if they are not using either scheme.

The government will use the information it already holds about the number of hours they normally work.

Other changes can still be reported such as other changes in income, childcare and hours in the normal way. However, HMRC must be informed if partners lose their job, are made redundant or cease trading.

Claimants should also check GOV.UK to see if additional or alternative support is available based on their personal and financial circumstances.
