Overview

You can get permission to deal with someone else’s tax credits. The type of permission you need depends on what you want to do. 

You can: 

• contact HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) about someone else’s claim - as an authorised intermediary 

• take responsibility for someone else’s tax credit claim when they cannot manage their own affairs - as an appointee 

• claim tax credits for both your child and their baby 

For further information on claiming tax credits for someone else, see GOV.UK's website.
