Can I work under 16 hours a week and still claim Child Tax Credit not Working Tax Credit?

I am a university student with two children. I%26#039;m on my summer break and wanted to look for work. I claim child tax credit and wanted to know if I could work under 16 hours without my claim being affected.

I don%26#039;t want to change to working tax credit because it%26#039;s too much messing around when I%26#039;m going back to uni soon.

Please help!

Don%26#039;t understand why you don%26#039;t want to claim Working Tax during uni break. If you%26#039;re already receiving Child Tax its only a phone call to tell them your working %26amp; then another when your not.

Is it because you%26#039;re allso receiving Housing %26amp; Council Tax benefits or Income Support because if you are then anything you earn over 鎷?0 is going to affect Income Support which could then lead to reduction in amount of Housing %26amp; Council tax you receive.

If your not receiving any benefits except Children Tax, which by the way isn%26#039;t a benefit its a credit, then doesn%26#039;t matter how many hours you work would only start to taper off after about 鎷?5K %26amp; don%26#039;t know any job thats pays that much over the summer period

Hi you are still entitled to child tax credit, though if you work 16 hrs you will get working tax credit on top of the child tax.
