The increase in average tax credit awards in 2012-13 can largely be explained by the removal of the \u2018Second Income Threshold\u2019 in April 2012. This policy removed a number of higher income households from the tax credit population. As higher income households generally have lower tax credit awards, the effect of removing these households increases the average award.<\/p>
