Personal Tax Credits

Child Tax Credit (CTC) and Working Tax Credit (WTC) replaced Working Families' Tax Credit, Disabled Person's Tax Credit and Children's Tax Credit in April 2003. CTC is available to families with children aged up to 16, or up to 20 and in full-time non-advanced education or certain forms of training. WTC is available to people working for at least 16 hours a week if they have children, or have an illness or disability which puts them at a disadvantage in getting a job. Certain other adults also qualify - for example, if they are aged at least 25 and work for at least 30 hours a week.
