Welcome to the Tax Credits Rebate Website

Millions of pounds are owed to UK parents and families.

The year before tax credits were introduced, there was a different allowance available which was never advertised by the Inland Revenue, now HMRC. You can still claim this £529 - £1,048 allowance and this website has been setup to help you do so.

IMPORTANT: Claims must be submitted by the 31st January 2009 deadline.

You are eligible to claim £529 allowance if:

• You have a child born between 6th April 1986 and 5th April 2003.
• The child lived with you for all or part of 2002/2003.
• You worked and paid tax for all or part of 2002/2003.

You are eligible to claim £1,048 allowance if:

You can answer yes to the above questions and one of your children was born between 6th April 2002 and 5th April 2003.

Notes

• Making the claim does not affect your current or future working / child tax credits.
• Your marital status does not affect your claim. You may be eligible, if you were single, married or living with a partner.               
• You or your partner has to have earned £6,000+ in the 2002/2003 tax year.
• If you have claimed the allowance back in 2002, you cannot claim it now.
• If your final tax code on your April 03 P60 ended in a H or a T, you have already had the allowance. (If you are not sure, please apply and we will check it for you.)
• Successful claims made through The Entitlements agency will show a
  £94 deduction for processing/ administration.
