Note: To support the expansion of Universal Credit (UC), The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and The Department for Communities (DfC) in Northern Ireland, are undertaking a phased rollout approach using postcodes. By 31 December 2018, this rollout will be complete and any new claims for Tax Credits will no longer be accepted and HMRC will signpost the customer(s) towards DWP or DfC to claim Universal Credit instead.

You should check the other guidance available on GOV.UK from HMRC as Brexit updates to those pages are being prioritised before manuals.
Background
Note: From 27th January 2021, there are no new claims to tax credits
Use this helpcard when capturing a claim when good cause has been refused, or the declaration was received between 31 January and 5 April. The information you will be using to capture the claim will come from the previous claim and the late declaration received.
The information for Parts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 will be taken from the previous claim, unless the customer has provided any changes.
