how do i find out if someone is claiming working tax credits?

Question

II knoe the other persons name and location but not DOB or NI number.
I need to find this information as my previous employer will not provide it and i think he sacked me because i wanted to claim Working tax credits myself and he knows it will mean more work for him! I am a lone parent and this money would be very important to us. Please help me.

Answer 1

you need to be asking the tax office love.

If you are about to grass someone or get revenge on someone. DON'T DO IT.

Otherwise call the tax office , they will know if it is possible to gain such information.

I would guess. NOT.

Answer 2

HI, your question isnt clear to me.
You can find out if you are entitled to working tax credit via the job centre or your local tax office.
You could impersinate someone over the phone to find out if they are getting tax credit, i supose. But it is illegal to do so.Not many people know thier N.I number off the top of thier head.

I was getting working tax credit at the last place i worked. Im a single person. You have to get,fill in and send off forms and your employer fills in some paper work too. I dont see why an employer would fire you becase you wanted to claim a benefit that your entitled to?.

Answer 3

I worked for the UK Tax Credits Helpline in Newcastle 2 years ago and I can tell you this:

There is no way you will be given details of this nature unless you can verify yourself as the other person in at least three ways.
1) DOB
2) NINO or National Insurance Number
3) A predefined Security question (IE: Dogs name, etc)

Certain criteria need to be met to qualify.
Your employer should not have sacked you - take him to a tribunal. Also - it is nothing to do with him as you claim from the following number: 0845 300 3900, or visit the following websites to find out if you actually qualify:
HM Revenue & Customs:
http://www.taxcredits.inlandrevenue.gov.uk/qualify/WhatAreTaxCredits.aspx
Do I qualify? http://www.taxcredits.inlandrevenue.gov.uk/Qualify/DIQHousehold.aspx

Most importantly, what you are trying to do is a serious crime with a jail-term behind it.

BE WARNED!

Answer 4

You will not be able to find out of another person is claiming Working Tax credit unless that person is prepared to tell you them self.

Under the Data Protection Act neither your previous employer or the Inland Revenue are allowed to disclose information about a person to a third party.

If you think your employer dismissed you unfairly then I would suggest you contact your local Citizens Advice Bureau. You may be able to take your employer to a tribunal due to unfair dismissal.

Answer 5

You cannot find this out because it is personal information.
Are you sure you understood what your boss said? He doesn't sort out your tax credits, you do; so theres no way he could stop you is there? So if he said "I don't have the forms" he wasn't trying to stop you claim.
If he was trying to stop you claim then you weren't on his books so you wouldn't have got it anyway.
Leave this other woman alone and concentrate on finding another job instead.

Answer 6

go to an advice centre about tax credit's , my son claimed and got it by just getting form's , leave the other person alone

Answer 7

Answer 8

typical vindictive woman

Answer 9

That's none of your business!
