The number and total value of tax credits underpayments are available in the publication “Child and Working Tax Credits Statistics, Finalised Annual Awards Supplement on Payments in 2015-16”. The statistics are available on gov.uk at the following location:

The table on page 8 provides information on the amount of tax credit underpayments in each year since 2003-04, up until the latest available year of 2015-16.
