Can anyone cast more light on the change from 31st July as the deadline to respond to tax credit notices - it is now the date specified on the notice,
see Tax Credits (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2010 (SI.No.751/2010).

I assume this means that the date will depend on when the claimant's papers are sent out, which seems potentially fairer. But I'm a bit concerned that 31st July is still being used on some websites and leaflets, and clients might pick up on this when in fact an earlier/later deadline applies to them.

I'd be grateful for any extra info on the policy intention here, if anyone knows. Thanks.
