HMRC are reminding parents with a teenager
approaching 16 that they should let HMRC know if they are
continuing in full-time education so they continue to
receive child benefit.
HMRC’s Director of Benefits and Credits, Steve Lamey,
said: ‘At this time of year, families decide whether a
child will continue in education or training once they have
seen their GCSE results. If their child is staying on
full-time, they need to let us know the full details as soon
as possible so that their child benefit doesn’t stop on 30
August.’
Parents of a child approaching 16 receive a reminder and
form in the post from HMRC, asking them to provide HMRC with
the following information:
-
details of the course and
qualification;
-
its start and end dates, and
-
the name and address of the
school or college.
Parents can make the necessary changes
online at www.hmrc.gov.uk/childbenefit/change-circs.htm
or by phoning the Child Benefit Helpline on 0845 302 1444.
