Working for Families Tax Credits
Working for Families is a package designed to help make it easier for you to work and raise a family.
Working for Families Tax Credits are made up of four types of payments - family tax credit, in-work tax credit, minimum family tax credit and parental tax credit. You may qualify for one or more, depending on your personal situation.
Inland Revenue explains these payments on their website:
