Tax Credits – Q: I work 29 hours a week. Is it correct that I’ll get more tax credits if I worked 30 hours?

You get more tax credits if you work over 30 hours per week, as you get the full time element. If you work 16 hours a week then you get part time only.  There is no added increment in between 16 and 30 hours.  Of course, tax credits reduce as your income increases, however the extra hour to take you up to 30 is more likely to increase your benefit.
