Lots happening this month on the tax and benefit front.

Couples with children will have to work more hours to get Working Tax Credit.

State pension rises to £107.45 a week, Pension Credit to £142.70.

For the future, from January next year those earning over £50,000 will lose or start to lose child benefit.

And fuel duty - up by more than 3p a litre in August.

Excellent summary of all this from Credit Action.
