Does Hmrc Tell Universal Credit?

HMRC sends relevant data on Universal Credit claimants to DWP on a daily basis (4 times a day).

Do I need to tell tax credits if I claim Universal Credit?

How tax credits are affected. If you're already getting tax credits, you do not need to do anything unless your circumstances change or until you are told by DWP to claim Universal Credit.

How does Universal Credit know my earnings?

Earnings can come from a contracted job, agency work, seasonal and casual work or from being self–employed. It doesn't matter how many hours you work – it's the actual earnings you get in an assessment period that count. Your payment will reflect your earnings in that assessment period.
