Tax Credits

As I announced on 26 May, there will be a review of the disputes procedure, the code of practice currently operated by the Inland Revenue and the way in which the system operates. All the recommendations in reports by the ombudsman, the adjudicator and the Citizens Advice Bureau will be considered in that context. Opposition parties do not want to address the success of tax credits, because that would require them to come to a decision on the fundamental question of how, in our economy, we ensure that we support families with children and eradicate child poverty.
