Tax Credits Consultation Group (formerly Benefits and Credits Consultation Group)

The Tax Credits Consultation Forum (TCCF) is a forum hosted by HMRC to discuss primarily tax credits but also some aspects of child benefit, guardian’s allowance and tax-free childcare where relevant.

The TCCF was set up to replace the former stakeholder group, known as the Benefits and Credits Consultation Group (BCCG).

Since 2014, BCCG face to face meetings were replaced by a closed email circulation group. During 2019, HMRC closed the BCCG group. In 2021 the TCCF forum was established.

Minutes and the Terms of Reference for the TCCF group can be found on GOV.UK

The BCCG used to meet bi-monthly and the minutes were published after each meeting on the HMRC website. We have provided links to them below.
