Can I claim family tax credits if I am self-employed?

Asked 6 months ago
Yes, self-employed individuals can claim family tax credits. To be eligible, you must meet certain criteria. Firstly, you should have children who are under the age of 17 and meet the residency requirements. Secondly, your income and the net income of your spouse or common-law partner, if applicable, should be below the specified threshold. Additionally, you need to file your income tax return and report your self-employment income accurately. It's important to keep track of your business expenses to ensure accurate reporting. While being self-employed does not automatically disqualify you from claiming family tax credits, meeting the eligibility criteria and providing the necessary documentation is crucial. Consult a tax professional or refer to the government website for more information specific to your situation.
