Can i get child car tax credits if i am on maternity leave?

i currently get child tax xredits / working tax credits and childcare taxt credits, if i got pregnant and had a baby 4 months before my children started school, would i still get tax credits for that 4 month period so my other kids could stay at nursery as i would still be employeed, just on maternity pay.

Yes you will.
If you are paid maternity, it is still classed as working.
You can claim for the first 26 weeks but if you extend your maternity after that you will be classed as not working so you will lose the working tax element but still have the child tax credit.

i don't know cause the way they would see it is why do your children need to go into childcare if you are off work still employed but not actually at work ring them up and ask cannot do any harm
you should as you normally you have to pay a retainer to keep your place at the nursery. you would definately get the child tax and the working tax, and i would think you should get the childcare paid as well as maternity leave is like an extended paid holiday in a way. your still employed just on leave. ring them to double check.
Yes, you will get tax credits still. When you are with a partner, your hours worked are jointly taken in to account, so you will still qualify.

Just make sure you ring up the tax credits people and let them know, as you will still get credits, but its best to keep them informed.
Would still get working tax as employed but why would you need childcare paid for if your at at home with your new baby.

Best check with inland revenue because I'm sure if your living with a partner & only 1 parent working can only claim childcare costs if the stay at home parent is disabled or ill ie claiming DLA or IB.
