What is the 'one error'?

Compiler error?
Runtime error?

Please give us a lead. Most people here are busy and don't have time to explore every possible error that might be in your code.

If you properly indented your code, you would see that the conditional test if(income>=8612) does not have a closing bracket.

     if (income>=8612) {
       cout <<"your are entitled to 655";
     }
     if (income>11701) {
        cout <<"sorry but you are not elagable for working tax credit";
        return 0;
     }
     system("PAUSE");
     return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

& just to add, while it doesn't cause the error, what is the difference between EXIT_SUCCESS & 0?

"EXIT_SUCCESS" is a macro supplied as part of standard C++ (since I think 1999?) that is considered 'more correct' than using 0.

Here's some more info:

My point was using both of them looks silly.

Oh yes - stupid me!!

Yes it is very silly to use both.
Pick one style option and stick to it.
