The WFTC is the first scheme in the UK, which combined tax system with benefit system, which could render them a financial incentive to work. The WFTC is designed to increase the net income of the recipient families with full time working, which could resolve so-called "poverty trap". In the first section of this article, the background and historical context of the development of WFTC scheme in the UK will be revealed. In the second section, the outline of WFTC will be described from the comparative viewpoint with precedent schemes.
