HMRC ‘misleading’ on child tax credits says charity

HMRC letters advising parents about tax credit changes are misleading says a leading tax reform charity.
The letter which has been sent to 1.3m homes says the income limit to get child tax credit is £26,000.
Low Incomes Tax Reform Group says that figure is for one-child families only and larger families earning over £50,000 may still be eligible.
HMRC says the letter is "not incorrect" but "not worded as well as it could be"...........

Misleading!? Just got various brown envelopes through the post yesterday one of which said that I owe back £2.5 K!!! They were kind enough to enclose a bank giro slip for my convenience......... I have spoken to them and they have put the amount into dispute however speaking to the helpful man at HMRC I think you need a PHD to understand how they work things out!!
