HMRC is notifying around 60,000 former tax credit recipients that they may be owed money after Child Tax Credit and Working Tax Credit ended in April 2025 and were replaced by Universal Credit. So far, about 22,000 have received letters, with 38,000 more expected by January 2026. The communications inform individuals of potential overpayments or underpayments, possibly leading to refunds. Officials urge recipients to review the letters carefully to ensure they receive correct benefits under the new system.
