TAX CREDITS

These Regulations amend the Tax Credits (Claims and Notifications) Regulations 2002 (S.I. 2002/2014) to provide for additional circumstances in which a tax credit claim is to be treated as having been made up to 31 days before the date on which the claim was received by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs. This will apply where a claimant (or in the case of joint claimants, either of them) opens a childcare account under the Childcare Payments Act 2014 (c. 28) by making a valid declaration under section 4(2) of that Act (“a declaration”), but does not pay any money out of the account under section 20(1)(a) of that Act (payments in respect of childcare) and closes the childcare account (and any other childcare accounts held).
