Around 1.5 million tax credits renewal packs for the 2023-24 tax year will be issued to people from tomorrow.
The annual renewal packs will be sent out between May 2 and June 15. Tax credits help families with targeted financial support.
More than 500,000 tax credits customers will need to reply to HMRC by a deadline to confirm their circumstances for the 2023-24 tax year, or they could risk having their payments stopped.

Once people receive their pack, they will have until July 31 to check the information is correct and notify HMRC of any changes to their circumstances which may affect their claim.
There are two types of renewal packs, HMRC said. One has a red line across the first page and says "Reply now". Those receiving this will need to confirm their circumstances to renew their tax credits.
The other has a black line across the first page and says "Check now". People receiving this pack will need to check that their details are correct. If they are, they do not need to do anything and their tax credits will be automatically renewed.
People can renew their tax credits free of charge via gov.uk or the HMRC app. HMRC director-general for customer services Myrtle Lloyd said: "Tax credits provide families with vital financial support, so it is important that customers look out for their renewal pack and renew by July 31.
For details on how to renew, search 'manage my tax credits' on gov.uk." The renewal packs will be sent out in batches, and HMRC said people who have not received theirs should wait until after June 15 before making contact.
By the end of 2024, tax credits will be replaced by Universal Credit. Tax credits recipients will receive a letter from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) telling them when to claim Universal Credit.
