Tax Credit Customers Urged to Renew Now

Around 730,000 tax credits customers will start receiving their annual renewal notices from this week.

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) said tax credits claimants will receive them between 2 May and 19 June 2024.

The vast majority of claims will be automatically renewed. Notices with a black stripe are automatically renewed while claimants receiving a notice with a red stripe need to renew.

Fewer than 10,000 customers will need to check their information and renew their claim by 31 July, but failure to do so means they risk having their payments stopped.

The quickest and easiest way for customers to renew their tax credits is via GOV.UK or via the free and secure HMRC app, which allows them to track their claim and find out when they can expect payments.

Myrtle Lloyd, HMRC's Director General for Customer Services, said:

Tax credits are valued by many families for their essential contribution to the monthly family budget, so to avoid payments being stopped please respond to HMRC by the 31 July deadline.
