Tax credits – renewal deadline looming!

Why the Tax Credits Renewal Deadline Matters

Tax credits help many households manage their finances. However, failing to renew on time can result in lost entitlements. The tax credits renewal deadline is 31 July, and missing it could mean losing some or all of your tax credits permanently.

If you haven’t received a renewal pack by 27 June, contact HMRC immediately on 0345 300 3900 to ensure you can renew on time.

How to Renew Your Tax Credits

Renewing your tax credits is simple, but it must be done before the deadline. You can renew in three ways:

1. Online – The quickest and easiest method is through the HMRC website.
2. By phone – Call 0345 300 3900 and follow the instructions.
3. By post – Complete and return your renewal pack if you received one.

Online renewal is the fastest option, provided you have your renewal pack. It ensures immediate confirmation of your submission.

What Happens if You Miss the Deadline?

If you miss the tax credits renewal deadline, HMRC may stop your payments. You could also be required to repay any credits received after the deadline.

Acting promptly avoids delays and ensures your tax credits continue without disruption.
