HMRC is reminding people that there is just one week left to renew your tax credits claim before the 31 July deadline. It points out that renewing is simple, providing you know your income and you also need to update any details that have changed.

The tax credits helpline on 0845 300 3900 and is available from 8.00am to 8.00pm, seven days a week.

Sarah Walker, HMRC Director of Benefits and Credits, said:

“If you’re receiving tax credits, don’t leave renewing until the last minute. Get it sorted out now, so we can make sure you’re getting the right money.”

  • All tax credits claimants receive a statement of their 2007/08 award – an Annual Review Form – and must check this information. Most claimants receive an additional form – the Annual Declaration Form – which must be completed, either on paper or by phone.

  • Claimants on ‘nil awards’, and those receiving only the full family element of Child Tax Credit, will just receive the Annual Review Form. If these details are correct, no further action is needed, and their claims are automatically renewed. However, if the details on the Annual Review Form are wrong, they must tell HMRC.

  • Further information and frequently asked questions about tax credits renewals are available from www.hmrc.gov.uk/taxcredits
