Unclaimed Children's Tax Allowance for 2002/3

The year before Tax Credits were introduced there was a different

non-means tested allowance available which was never advertised by the

Inland Revenue.

It is called the Children's Tax Allowance for the Year 2002/3.

You can still claim this tax allowance before the 31 January 2009

deadline.

You need to phone HMRC on 0 and ask them to check whether

you have already received this allowance and, if not, enquire as to

what action you need to take.

You are eligible to claim £520.00 allowance if;

*You have a child born between 6 April 1986 and 5 April 2003

*The child lived with you for all or part of 2002/2003

*You worked and paid tax for all or part of 2002/2003

*You or your partner earned £6,000 plus in the year 2002/2003 tax year

You are eligible for the £1,040 allowance if;

*If you can answer yes to the four questions above, and

*One of your children was born between 6 April 2002 and 5 April 2003

Notes:-

*Making a claim does not affect your current or future entitlement to

Working or Child Tax credits.

*Your Marital status is irrelevant

*You cannot claim the allowance twice and if your final tax code on

your April 2003 P60 ended in a H or a T, you have already had the

allowance.

*This is an easy claim for you to make so do not get duped into paying

someone to do it for you because they are likely to charge a large

percentage for their services.

Spread the word as this could be something which gives you a little

extra in these difficult times!!
