Personal tax credits are not taxable. All those benefiting from tax credits awards in each of the years requested will have been exempt from income tax on these payments.

Personal tax credit statistics data for 2014-15 and 2015-16 is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/personal-tax-credits-statistics

Finalised statistics for 2016-17 will be published in due course.
