In this section:
Your tax credits payments are made every week or every four weeks, depending on what you chose when you claimed. If your usual payment day falls on a bank holiday, you'll get your payment earlier than normal.
On this page:
From time to time, your normal payment day may fall on the same day as a bank holiday. This means you'll get your payment a few days earlier.
It doesn't matter whether you live in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. If there's a bank holiday anywhere in the United Kingdom, you'll still get your payment earlier.
The table below tells you which payments will be made early, and when you should get paid.
