Apply for child benefit in your name and tax credits in joint names have them paid to your spouse so she has an income.

Hi Amber,
Thanks for your reply.
For tax credit you mean paid into my wife account?also my wife she is going abroad for 3 months holidays,can I claim tax credit and going into her account?
Also can I council tax reduction benefit ,also keep in mind that my wife she will be living me in same house which is under immigration control.
Thanks

Yes to be paid into her account.

You may be entitled to CTR/HB however, you would have to have a joint claim but ensure that any amount paid is based on a single person/lone parent applicable amount (some LAs will not do this).

Hi Amber
Thanks for your reply.
I am little confuse about child tax credit and working tax credit,can I claim both?or they both are same.

Regards

You may be entitled to CTC and/or WTC depending on your income, hrs worked etc...
