Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the number of people who are ineligible for a grant under the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme as a result of their receiving a higher level of income through working tax credit and child tax credit than they earn through self-employment.

No one will become ineligible for a grant under the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme as a result of tax credit or child tax credit payments.

Tax credit payments are not taxable income and are not included in the calculation for the Self-Employment Income Support eligibility checker or grant amount.
