The Tax Credits and Child Trust Funds (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019
The Government of the United Kingdom and the Government of Ireland entered into a Convention on Social Security, which was signed at Dublin on 1st February 2019 (“the Reciprocal Agreement”). The Reciprocal Agreement was made in the context of the UK’s exit from the European Union. Amongst other matters, the Reciprocal Agreement makes provision in relation to family benefits, which in the United Kingdom means Child Benefit, Guardian’s Allowance and child tax credit. The provisions relating to child tax credit are implemented domestically in these Regulations. These Regulations also make amendments to working tax credit rules to treat nationals of the United Kingdom or Ireland who are living in Ireland and working in the UK as meeting the residence requirements for that benefit.
