The average working family doesn't qualify for any

Child or Working Family Tax Credit is going to be received by most
families but notice you have to have an "annual income" below
£16,190, the average UK wage (individual) is about £24,000. And I
suspect that "annual income" really means household annual income not
an individuals.
