Hi there,
Regarding the Equal Pay Claims against LA’s (under the Equal Pay Act) and the subsequent settlements, I would like to query how others are treating these pay settlements for the purpose of HB/CTB entitlement.
I note that HMRC are treating these settlements as earnings for the purpose of Income Tax/National Insurance collection. However, I also note that, as part of the ‘deal’ HMRC are not treating these payments as earnings for the purposes of determining Tax Credit entitlements.
If anyone has decided they are to be treated as capital and not to be treated as income for the period they represent, can you please advise which Reg you are using to substantiate this?
Kind Regards
.
