HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has issued an urgent warning to more than 222,600 Tax Credits customers who have not yet submitted their renewal packs. Payments will be stopped if renewals are not completed before Sunday, July 31.
Working Tax Credits and Child Tax Credits help families with targeted financial support, so it’s important that people renew before the deadline to ensure they do not miss out on money they’re entitled to - especially during these challenging cost of living times when every penny counts.
HMRC said that more than 363,000 customers have already renewed their claims ahead of the deadline and is reminding people that it can be done at any time, day or night, through HMRC’s online services, including the HMRC App.
Myrtle Lloyd, HMRC’s Director General for Customer Services, said: “The 31 July deadline is fast approaching and renewing your Tax Credits is too important to forget. HMRC support is available at all times of the day and night via GOV.UK and the smartphone app to help customers get their renewals right.
“It’s great to see so many customers have already renewed their Tax Credits. I urge those who are yet to renew to do so as soon as possible, in order to avoid having their payments stopped.”
HMRC is also warning that as the deadline for renewals approaches, customers hurrying to sort out their accounts could be more vulnerable to scammers.
Customers are advised that if someone contacts them saying they are from HMRC and wants them to transfer money urgently or give personal information, they should never let themselves be rushed.
HMRC is also urging customers never to share their HMRC login details - someone using them could steal from the customer or make a fraudulent claim in their name.
