</p><p>Annual expenditure on tax credits cannot be broken down between Child Tax Credits
and Working Tax Credits. However, this breakdown is available for the closely related
measure of annual tax credits entitlement, and provided in Table 3 below. The main
difference between tax credits entitlement and tax credits payments is that entitlement
figures are based on the amounts households are entitled to once awards have been
finalised, whereas payments are based on provisional awards which may differ from
final awards, and can include payments and repayments in respect of earlier years.</p><p>Table
