If the number of hours you work from week to week are predictable, HMRC call this a 'normal working pattern', even if your hours are different each week. You can give HMRC your average weekly hours over whatever period your normal working pattern is.
For example, if it's common for you to work 20 hours and 40 hours on alternate weeks, you could put your normal working hours as 30 hours per week. If your working hours are unreliable and irregular, you might not be able to say what hours are normal for you.
If this is your situation, contact HMRC to get advice on how to describe your weekly hours. Or you can contact your nearest Citizens Advice. If you share responsibility for a child, for example if you and your partner are separated, only one of you can claim tax credits for the child. UK has a list of circumstances you can claim tax credits when not working and how long you can claim for. If you're 18 or over, you can use the Turn2us benefits calculator to work this out.
If you can get working tax credits you might also be able to get other benefits. If you're 18 or over, you can use the Turn2us benefits calculator to check which benefits you can get. Skip to navigation Skip to content Skip to footer.
