The packs will be sent between 25 April and 27 May, and taxpayers have until 31 July to check their details are correct and update HMRC if there has been a change in their circumstances.

Tax credits help working families with targeted financial support, so it is important that people do not miss out on money they are entitled to.

There are two types of renewal packs:

• if it has a red line across the first page and says ‘reply now’, customers will need to confirm their circumstances to renew their tax credits;
• if it has a black line across the first page and says ‘check now’, customers will need to check their details are correct. If correct, taxpayers do not need to do anything and their tax credits will be automatically renewed.

An estimated 630,000 taxpayers will need to confirm their circumstances to renew their tax credits for the 2022-23 tax year.
