This question was answered on 11th July 2018

The income profile of in-work recipients of Child Tax Credits is published in our Child and Working Tax statistics: finalised awards, 2016/17, released on 28th June 2018. The publication can be found by following URL: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/child-and-working-tax-credits-statistics-finalised-annual-awards-2016-to-2017

The relevant information from the published statistics has been derived from Table 1.1 and Table 3.7 and is attached for your reference. The “Total with children” row is the row which provides the income breakdown for all those families receiving the Child Tax Credit.

The childcare element is a component of Working Tax Credit.

For PQ 160301, I refer the Honourable Member to the answer given on 6 July to PQ’s 158289 & 158290.
