Ticks off the WTC and CTC entries in #771's docs-pages todo list. Combined into one page because the two tax credits share the means-test machinery in gov.dwp.tax_credits and were jointly closed to new awards on 5 April 2025. The page covers: - the gov.dwp.tax_credits.active flag that short-circuits the entire computation from 2025-04-06, - the WTC and CTC element trees, with pointers to the per-element YAML files, - the hours test for WTC and the two-child limit + qualifying-child tests for CTC, - the shared income threshold / reduction-rate / min-benefit-floor means-test logic in tax_credits_reduction, - take-up via would_claim_WTC / would_claim_CTC, - the managed migration to Universal Credit and the reported-only state of the variables after April 2025, - references (Tax Credits Act 2002, SI 2002/2005, SI 2002/2007, HMRC end-of-scheme announcement, CBP-9984 migration briefing, HMRC tax credits statistics).
