Annual tax credit renewal packs to be issued from next week

As many as 1.5 million tax credit renewal packs will be issued by HM Revenue & Customs from the 2^nd of May to the 15^th of June.

Those who are entitled to tax credits are being reminded that they have until the 31^st of July 2023 to check their information and notify HMRC of any changes that might affect their claim.

Myrtle Lloyd, HMRC’s Director-General for Customer Services, said, “Tax credits provide families with vital financial support, so it is important that customers look out for their renewal pack and renew by 31 July.

“For details on how to renew, search ‘manage my tax credits’ on GOV.UK.”

There are two different types of renewal packs for the 2023 to 2024 tax year:

• If it has a red line across the first page and says ‘reply now’. You’ll need to confirm your circumstances to renew your tax credits.
• If it has a black line across the first page and says ‘check now’, you’ll need to check that your details are correct – if they are you won’t need to do anything and the tax credits will be automatically renewed.
