Evening, I have what is possibly a very simple enquiry yet I can't work out the calculators re details required.
Both parents worked full time in 2011-2012. Salary above tax credit limits.
2012-2013 - maternity leave and some income along with contribution based JSA and starting own business, total earnings under £7000 pa. They did not claim tax credits as were informed that previous years income was too high. No childcare costs.
2013 - 14- mother now returning to work and business increasing - income will be over the limit.
Are they entitled to anything based on last years low income?
They are looking at help with childcare costs but not sure which income they use as I feel they should have applied in 2012 but were advised ineligible.
