Abstract
Tax credits were introduced in 2003 as the main instrument to deliver the Labour government’s commitments to increase work incentives, make work pay and reduce poverty levels among working families. This paper uses a case study of one family over several years to explore and illustrate the experience of being in the tax credit system. The analysis highlights the importance of tax credits to family income, but also the negative impact of late and incorrect payments, payments that varied in inexplicable ways, reductions in awards for overpayments and the lack of detailed information about awards.

And so say all of us (with regards to the negative impact factors)!
