Low Income? Check if you qualify

[LadyJ]

We get something like £500.00 a month tax credits..
How long would it take them to find out that I have moved to another country?

Fred, It depends on your case why you moved abroad but you might end up paying them back because you didn't tell them the changes of your circumstances. Read the notes below;


Where you usually live
If your main home throughout your award was in England, Scotland,
Wales or Northern Ireland, you are treated as usually living in the
United Kingdom (UK). This is not affected by short periods abroad
for holidays or on business.
You may still qualify for tax credits if you did not live in the UK but
you were
• a citizen of another country in the European Economic Area (EEA)
(see table aside) or of Switzerland, and you work in the UK, or
• a Crown Servant posted overseas or their accompanying partner, or
• a citizen of
– a country in the European Economic Area (EEA),
(see table aside) including the UK, or
– Switzerland
living in the EEA or Switzerland, and you receive a UK state
pension or contributions-based Jobseeker’s Allowance.
You may not have been entitled to tax credits if your right to enter
or remain in the UK was on the condition that you did not have
recourse to public funds.
To claim Child Tax Credit you must also have a right to reside in the
UK, under either UK or European Community law.
You must tell us within 3 months, if you (or your partner if you
have one, or both of you)
leave the UK permanently
• go abroad for a period of 8 weeks or more. This is extended to
12 weeks if you go, or stay abroad because you, or a member of
your family, is ill or has died
• lose your right to reside in the United Kingdom.
For example, if you are a national of one of the countries that
joined the European Economic Area (EEA) on 1 May 2004 (other
than Cyprus or Malta) you must tell us if you and your partner
lose your job before you have worked in the UK lawfully and
uninterruptedly for 12 months.
If you do not you may be liable to a penalty.
