Very nosey questions: mums of 3.

[Eternal]

Sorry for the little hijack but I'm confused about tax credits and would appreciate it if someone could clarify..... Our income is around 30K and we have been told we aren't entitled to tc but I see there are others who earn similar amounts who are? That in itself doesn't bother me as we are fine without but we're having to pay quite a substantial amount of money back (which is proving to be a complete nightmare) after the previous tax year based on them telling us we earnt over the threshold???

From how I understand it it depends on lots of things, how many kids being a big one, the threshold for income changes if you have more children, I also believe it makes a difference if you are paying for childcare as well as if their are any disabilities in the family in receipts DLA. So if you only have one child it's unlikely you will get anything. But really it's very individual.

I've filled the online things in a few times, too confusing for me lol.
