Manlinose Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 My wife is 60 and works 25 hours a week. Can she claim tax credits or does it depend on my earnings and/or any savings. Our kids are grown up. i think it depends on household income but the link provided above by taxman will help provide an answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vague_Boy Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 It enables people to work less; with the money coming from millionaires Sorry, because your total income is more than £13,000 a year, you probably don't qualify for tax credits I guess there just aren't enough millionaire around.

Chris_Sleeps Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 If part of a couple one of them needs to be working 24 hours a week minimum. Depends on partner's capability to work. If one is disabled then it is 16. If both are capable of work, the couple have to do 24 between them. Complex, innit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Chris when I rang up the other week, I'm disabled & my wife works 18 hours a week, I was told she has to work 24+ fella to qualify but cheers I'll re look into it. I am not capable of doing work at all. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, my error. That's only relevant if you have dependant children. How old are you and your wife?
