Working Tax Credit ( WTC) is paid direct to the claimant who has the main job.

In a joint claim, the payment of WTC will automatically go to the claimant with the main job. If their responsibility changes they can request that the nomination be changed to their partner, providing we have the partners bank account details.

The claimant can choose to receive their WTC every week or every four weeks. If the claim is pre award and the claimant has not chosen the frequency of WTC, it will always be paid 4 weekly.

The child care element of WTC will always be paid directly with the payments of CTC to the person who is nominated to receive the payment of CTC.
