How will the relief affect my entitlement to Working Tax Credit (WTC)?
You are entitled to claim WTC provided that you or your partner are in ’qualifying paid work’ for at least 16 hours a week if you have a child of your own, or 30 hours a week if you do not. Foster caring is ’qualifying paid work’ and it is recommended that foster carers claim their working hours to be at least 40 hours per week.
