working tax and child tax

[loza]

Hello all

Last year I had my first baby. when she was 3 months I was told i could claim working tax and child tax even though i was on maternity. I phoned and made my application by telephone. Then when the tax year ended I made a new claim this year by filling in a form. They then wrote to me in July saying that I had been overpayed by 90 pounds and that because I'm now working and would not be able to receive any money until june 2009!! I dont understand this at all. can anyone give me any advice as to why i was receiving a total of 452.00 pcm as a total for child tax and working tax and now i'm told I receive NIL!!

Get back in touch with the Inland Revenue- if you only owe them �90 there should still be some payment to come- even if you only qualify for Family Element (due to higher earnings) which is �540 for the year they should just deduct what you owe and then pay you the remainder over the year.
