MORE than half a million people have

However, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is warning people who haven't renewed
that their payments might stop if they don't do so before the 31 July deadline.
This year, everyone can renew their Tax Credits online using HMRC's new, simple
and quick online service. More than 540,000 claimants have renewed using the
online service, which now takes less than 10 minutes on average, with
satisfaction rates reaching 90%. n Nick Lodge, HMRC's Director General, Benefits
and Credits, said:- "This year, everyone can renew their Tax Credits
online at a time to suit them. This secure online service is quick and easy. So
far, more than 2.3 million claimants have renewed their Tax Credits or reported
changes. Anybody who needs to renew should take action now and go online."
During the whole renewals period last year, 409,000 people renewed their Tax
Credits and reported changes online. People can renew their Tax Credits claim
online, at any time and from any device,
online. |
