REVIEW OF THE TAX CREDIT SYSTEM

Early day motion 2383, tabled 29 October 2008 by Eddie McGrady (Social Democratic and Labour Party). Signed by 47 members.

That this House recognises that the financial crisis has resulted in many workers facing a reduced working week; and calls for a review of the tax credit system for single persons who find themselves working a three-day week and families with one or both earners reduced to a three-day week and in which the reduction in income will not be recognised in payments until the end of the financial year.
