Question

What can a couple earn jointly and still claim working tax credits?

Answer 1

For Working Tax credits it is bout £17000 as a joint income but you would be entitled to more if you had children than if you didn't. The threshold is more if you are disabled.

For child tax credits it is a joint income of £56000 or £64000 if you have a child under the age of 1

11,500 between them.

52,000 if they have at least one child will get Child tax Credit

Answer 6

Not a question that can be answered as the tax credit system depends on a number of issues including number of hours worked, number of children, amount of childcare etc etc.  A couple with three children working full time can still get a small amount of tax credit at a joint income at 50k, the upper limit for a childless couple is WAY less.  There is a calculator on the HM Revenue and Customs website into which you put your details and it will assess whether you might qualify - that would be a better way of addressing your question for yourself
