Dealing with tax credits for someone else
Overview
Tax credits have ended. No new claims can be made. The person you’re representing will have been sent a letter if they’re eligible for Universal Credit or Pension Credit instead.
You can get permission to deal with someone else’s tax credits. The type of permission you need depends on what you want to do.
You can:
- contact HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) about someone else’s claim - as an authorised intermediary
- take responsibility for someone else’s tax credits claim when they cannot manage their own affairs - as an appointee
