Parents - Does The Taxman Owe You £1,500?
If you had a child born between 1985 and 2003 you may have missed a tax refund worth up to £1,500. Did you:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q1 - Have a child(ren) born between April 6th 1985 and April 5th 2003?
Q2- Work and pay tax (or live with a partner who worked and paid tax) between April 2001 and April 2003?
Q3- Did the highest earner in the family earn £6,000+ in one or both years?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer YES to these questions and you qualify


This is a link to the HMRC website regarding Childrens Tax Credit (not to be confused with the current Childs Tax Credit).

http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/taxcredits/c...-tax-credit.htm

This was administered as a change in Tax coding and so was dealt with by your local Tax office (there's a list of offices at the bottom of the page).

It's worth a try.

Oops - I forgot to add this bit:-

Apparently There are NO FORM 11CTC's in circulation anymore... you need to write to the tax office and ask them to manually open the claim for you.
