Hi Guys,
I was wondering if someone can help me as well, I am a refugee with 5 years permit, recently I marry my wife who was on Tier 4, I used to claim Working Tax Credit when I was single and since we got married I change the claim to Joint. (both of our names appear in the tax credit award letter).
I April we applied for Spouse permit for my wife and she got the permit which allows her to stay for 30months for now. However I noticed in the letters received with the permit from HomeOffice there some benefits which my wife is exempt from, Tax credit was one of them.
My question is do I need to let HMRC know that I am married but my wife is not allowed to claim?
Tax Credit Award is in the name of both of us at the moment and I am the only one who receive it in my bank account.
Thank you for your advice.
