Concerned about false Tax Credit Claims?
HMRC encourage childminders to contact them to report potential fraud.
There is a leaflet you can download on their website with more information, here: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/taxcredits/fo...s/leaflets.htm
HMRC say:
Please phone our Childcare Provider's Helpline: 0845 300 3941 if you think a parent:
• has not reported a change in their childcare costs to us when they should have
• has not told us that they stopped using you for their childcare.
However, we cannot discuss any other details of a parent's claim with you.
We will get in touch with the parent, to check the details of their tax credits award.
We may give them details of the information that you gave to us.
