Details
Child Benefit take-up rates measure the proportion of eligible children and young people who have Child Benefit claimed on their behalf. Tax credit take-up rates measure the proportion of eligible families who claim tax credits (the caseload take-up rate), as well as the proportion of available financial support which is claimed (the expenditure take-up rate).
In the case of tax credits, it also presents estimates for the number of entitled non-recipient families, and the amount of available expenditure which is unclaimed.
Due to the introduction of Universal Credit, this is the final year for which tax credit take-up statistics will be released. Child Benefit take-up rates will be published alongside the Child Benefit geographical statistics in the first half of 2021.
