Child Tax Credit Telephone Number 0345 300 3900
Child tax credit is paid by the UK tax office to support families with children. It can be claimed whether or not the claimant is working. You need to have children under 16, or under 20 and in education or training. The amount you can get depends on how many children you’ve got.
