How to renew tax credits

You can no longer renew your tax credits for the 2015 to 2016 tax year.

Call the tax credit helpline if you’ve missed the deadline. You’ll need your National Insurance number and your renewal pack, if you have it.

If you’ve renewed

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) will send you an award notice within 8 weeks of receiving your renewal, telling you how much you’ll get.

Call the tax credit helpline if there’s a mistake on your award notice.
