UK benefits if you’re going or living abroad: Information based on your answers

You cannot make a new claim for tax credits, unless you already get either:

• Working Tax Credit and you want to claim Child Tax Credit
• Child Tax Credit and you want to claim Working Tax Credit

If you want to claim for either Working Tax Credit or Child Tax Credit, update your existing tax credit claim by reporting a change in circumstances to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).

If you’re already getting tax credits, you may be able to continue getting them while you’re abroad. Contact the Tax Credits Helpline to check.
