Hi,
I'm here in the UK with my wife and two young children (6 & 1). I have a decent university job here, but we are having financial trouble due to high/crazy childcare costs. I want to apply for Child Tax Credits and I have the correct form. We have the insidious "No Eligible for Public Funds" on our Tier II Visas, but I believe we are still eligible for Tax Credits, if not Child Benefits.
My question is about claiming USA income on the Tax Credit claim form. I have a small stream on US income that is more than wiped out state-side long before it makes it to the UK by student loan payments. The income stream will also run out in a few months. Should I claim US income on my UK Tax Forms? Or is there a serious rick of being audited/fined, etc.?
Any other advice on our general situation would also be welcome.
Many Thanks
