do you get more or less tax credits if you work more hours
Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: You get more working tax credits if you work over 30hours per week as you get the full time element. If you work 16hours a week then you get part time only and no added increment.At present I earn Â£24,000 per year and my partner is on incapacity benefit for sickness and therefore has no taxable income so based on Â£24,000 per year we get Â£194 per week of which Â£140 is the childcare element of working tax credit.orking tax is a funny one. It pays out the most at about 16 to 22 hours work but fluctuates as you add days or remove them. You should phone them and ask what youl get at each level. Remember that the amounts you get will effect other benefits such as housing and or council tax so you need to phone them as well.
