Child Tax Credit

[windywillow]

Are Child Tax Credit payments based on the amount of income tax you have paid?

I know I could look up a website, I have done that and can't find any reference to my specific question.

Thanks in advance.

There are good calculators here and on HMRC

i'm pretty sure its based on income and number of children not on how much tax you've paid

Thanks very much.
