1910
the first modern child tax credit was introduced in the 1909 'people's budget' of lloyd-george. this introduced a £10 income tax allowance per child, for tax payers earning under £500 per annum. following extensive parliamentary debate, the budget became law as the finance act (1909–1910) 1910 on 29 april 1910. since the income tax rate was then 1 shilling, two pence in the pound (5.83%), the value of the tax credit was therefore 11 shillings and eight pence per child. since most people did not earn enough to pay tax, this was a subsidy for middle class parents. the nominal value of these tax credits were generally, though not always, increased in line with income tax rates. for instance, by 1916, income tax had increased to five shillings in the pound (25%), and the tax credit to £25, giving a value of the tax credit of £6 5 shillings.

according to turbo tax, there are seven factors that determine who qualifies for the child tax credit. first, the child must be under the age of 17 years old at the end of the tax year you are filing for. second, the child must be related to the individual filing for child tax credit. examples of relationships are, “the child is their own child, stepchild or a foster child. when looking at other children within the individual’s family, they can also claim brothers, sisters, stepbrothers and sisters and also nieces, nephews and grandchildren.” when looking at the financial support the child has, “the child cannot be making more than half of their own income.” this means, the child cannot be financially stable on their own, otherwise the individual filing for the child tax credit may not qualify. the child must be your dependent, which means the individual filing for the tax credit must be supporting them financially throughout the tax year. the child must also be a united states citizen. another qualification is that the child must be living with the individual filing for more than 6 months out of the year the tax credit is being filed for. lastly, the family income determines if the individual qualifies for the tax credit. the tax credit can be reduced if the income is above the recommended amounts. "for married couple filing separately the max is $55,000, $75,000 for single head of household or widow and for married couples filing together it is $110,000. for each $1,000 above the max income levels the tax credit falls by $50."
