Children's Tax Credit
My brother alerted me to this:

He has claimed and received over £1000; not to be sniffed at!

This is the text from the email that is circulating about this:

When I checked my PAYE coding notice for that year, it was labelled 'Children's Tax Credit'.It is called the Children's Tax Allowance for the Year 2002/3.
You can still claim this tax allowance before the 31 January 2009 deadline.
You need to visit the Inland Revenue site, find the number for your local office and give them a call and ask them to check whether you have already received this allowance and, if not, enquire as to what action you need to take. ( http://search2.hmrc.gov.uk/kbroker/hmrc ... /start.jsp )
You are eligible to claim £520.00 allowance if;
*You have a child born between 6 April 1986 and 5 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 or your partner earned £6,000 plus in the year 2002/2003 tax year
You are eligible for the £1,040 allowance if;
*If you can answer yes to the four questions above, and
*One of your children was born between 6 April 2002 and 5 April 2003
Notes:-
*Making a claim does not affect your current or future entitlement to Working or Child Tax credits.
*Your Marital status is irrelevant
*You cannot claim the allowance twice and if your final tax code on your April 2003 P60 ended in a H or a T, you have already had the allowance.
*This is an easy claim for you to make so do not get duped into paying someone to do it for you because they are likely to charge a large percentage for their services.
This is the form which you need to download to claim. http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/forms/11ctc.pdf

When you sign these forms, you are asking a private company called "The Entitlements Agency Ltd" to act as your agent to claim the money from HM Revenues & Customs.
They will take any interest owed to you, along with £94 + VAT. You will get the rest.
You could, of course, go direct to HM Revenue & Customs!
Perhaps I should set myself up as "Official Grammar School Appeals Ltd" and charge £108.10 to forward appeal application forms to local authorities. Of course, you'd have to fill the forms in in the first place, but this sounds like a valuable service to offer....
