I know that you can get tax credits but only if you are overseas with the forces (ie army). Not sure if you are entitled to credits if you are working as a holiday rep. I thinkl its your choice as to whether you want to work for that low an income! Dont you get any tax benefits seeing as you dont work in the UK?

Hope someone can offer other information

dam right. a friend of mine used to work as a holiday rep and she payed nearly no tax. i think they count the free accomodation as part of the pay package too
