Child Tax Credit

Policymakers grapple with the related issues of unequal incomes, relatively poor health, education, and economic outcomes for low-income children, and hardship among low- and moderate-income families. Refundable tax credits provide substantial support and relief to many. This analysis details who benefits from the earned income tax credit (EITC) and the child tax credit (CTC) and four large-scale tax credit proposals that would provide substantial and ongoing benefits through these or similar credits. Broadly, proposals focused on children exclude childless adults and the elderly, and proposals focused on work exclude nonworkers, including most of the elderly, but include many workers with children.

Transfer State

The thirteen years of Labour government between 1997 and 2010 may come to be seen by future historians as the zenith of the British transfer state, when—in contrast to other western countries—the increase in fiscal redistribution which took place during the 1980s and early 1990s was sustained and deepened. Inspired by the Earned Income Tax Credit in the United States, Gordon Brown created a complex system of income-related tax credits, which formed a central part of New Labour’s strategy for ‘making work pay’ and eliminating child poverty. For the first time, the Treasury came to see itself as a social welfare agency, using tax credits and other instruments to achieve explicit distributional objectives. This chapter provides a detailed account of the development of tax credits, and shows how administrative difficulties and tensions between rhetoric and reality hampered Brown’s efforts to build public support for the system.
