Is there anyone out there who's DH is self employed & have 2 kids?
I'm on full PPL for now & once that runs out I have no income for the rest of the time i'm off. Obviously I'd like to get something for the taxes I've paid over the years 
I don't want to claim anything & then have to repay it. We have out FA being paid out yearly so that we avoid that scenario. I guess the best idea is to have a meeting at WINZ? ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

| My DH isn't self employed but I think you may be eligable for some help. Have a look at the working for families website, it has some questions and calculators that will help you work out if you are entitled to a tax credit. Failing that do ask WINZ, you just never know... |

The problem is to work out his income...is it his drawings or is it his profit? Plus he's only been self employed for just a year now & to top it off he's been working in Oz so I have recieved "child support" for his income that he sent back.....
Just a tad complicated...might phone WINZ tomorrow if I remember! ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

Hey Kel, my DH is self employed and in a few months I will have 2 kids. I have not been back to work between, so won't be getting any maternity leave or PPL (think I still get tax credit).
WE worked out DHs earnings on what he paid income tax on - not sure if that could be a way of working out your DHs?? I think WINZ might be the place to go - I was thinking I might do the same thing soon. ------------- Mum to two beautiful kids
