When you've got children

You've got a child - how is this going to affect your tax obligations?

You're going to need to know about:

• Working for Families Tax Credits - you may be eligible for one or more of the different types of tax credits
• tax credits (formerly rebates) - apart from the normal tax credits, check to see if you're eligible for an income tax credit - especially if you've paid for child care or for school fees
• child support - if your relationship has broken up, you may be eligible to receive child support, or you may have to pay it.
