From 1 April 2021, you can keep receiving the in-work tax credit for up to 2 weeks when taking an unpaid break from work. This could be either as you transition between jobs, are unpaid for a period, or leave employment.
You will not be eligible for in-work tax credit payments if you start receiving an income-tested benefit or a student allowance.
If you’re taking an unpaid break from work, you’ll need to notify IRD to ensure your IWTC payments continue. The best way to do this is by updating your family details in myIR, sending IRD a message in myIR or by calling IRD
