How much can you earn and still get tax credits?
For Working Tax Credit there is no set limit for income because it depends on your circumstances (and those of your partner).
For example, the government says that it could be £18,000 for a couple without children or £13,000 for a single person without children.
It can be higher if you have children or if you are disabled.
This is also true for Child Tax Credit – but broadly speaking if you have one child and your total household income goes over £25,000 then you’ll get no top up to your income.
If you have two children born before April 6, 2007 the maximum you can earn and get credits is about £35,000. Essentially, the more you earn the less you’ll get.
