Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of excluding working tax credit and child tax credit from the calculation of income for the purposes of the Self-Employed Income Support Scheme.
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.
