...your husband should claim for it if he's entitled to it

thanks for the reply sars but my concern is even if i work 20 hours or so a week and add on to the husband 12 hours a week..would it will qualify to claim tax credit? because ie..i will be working more hours than him it just iknow i cant claim any as because of my status..

your welcome Moy, joint claimants with children must work a combined 24hours per week with one claimant working at least 16hours.....assuming you got the job of 20hrs + the husband 12 hrs + three children no childminder because you said your husband will look after them during the times you are at work.....he can be entitled to claim working tax credit and child tax credit

but

if you dont work ...meaning your husband works under 16hours he is still entitled for child tax credit but no working tax credit

...one way or the other Moy I can see lots of money your husband can claim
