Details
The publication provides detailed geographical counts, at Lower Layer Super Output Area (LSOA) and Scottish Data Zone level, of the number of families and children in families in receipt of tax credits, as at 31 August 2020.
Introductory note
The tables in this release show the number of families benefiting from Child Tax Credit (CTC) and Working Tax Credit (WTC) in each LSOA or Data Zone and the number of children in these families.
CTC and WTC are awards for tax years, but the entitlement level can vary over the year as families’ circumstances change. These tables are based on families’ entitlements at 31 August 2020, given the family size, hours worked, childcare costs and disabilities at that date, and their latest reported incomes.
This date was selected because it is the reference date for published Child Benefit statistics - including, for England, Wales, at LSOA level and for Scotland at Data Zone level.
This data and similar geographical statistics, down to Lower Layer Super Output Area in England and Wales, Data Zones in Scotland and Output Areas in Northern Ireland, may also be available from the following sites:
