Des Browne MP Urges Constituents To Check They Are Getting Their Working Tax Credits
6th November 2007
Des Browne is urging constituents to check whether they may be missing out on getting financial help.
Thanks to the UK Government, people are able to claim Working Tax Credits, which give support to individuals on a low income.
Tax Credits are helping 6 million families and 10 million children, with a 97% take up amongst those with incomes less than £10,000.
Working Tax Credits top up income so that an individual without children who is working full-time is guaranteed a weekly income of at least £180 a week.
Des Browne said:
“I urge anyone who thinks they might be eligible to make an application for Working Tax Credits. These tax credits help those who most need it, and support work where wages are low. I want to ensure everyone who can benefit from Working Tax Credits does by encouraging people to check whether they are eligible.”
