answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2022 answer text <p>The Carer’s Allowance weekly earnings limit is designed to allow carers to combine their caring responsibilities with some paid employment where they can. It is set at a level that aims to encourage those who give up full time work in order to undertake caring responsibilities, to maintain a link with the labour market through part time work.</p><p> </p><p>The £132 limit, which has increased by around a third since 2010, is a net figure which is the figure left once any Income Tax, National Insurance contributions and other allowable payments and expenses are deducted from met earnings. So some people can earn more than £132 a week gross and still retain Carer’s Allowance.</p><p> </p><p>When calculating earnings for Carer’s Allowance purposes, any amount by way of a refund of income tax is disregarded.</p><p> </p><p>Once earnings exceed £132 a week (or on a weekly average where possible for those with fluctuating earnings) then there is no longer an entitlement to Carer’s Allowance and it will cease.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Norwich North answering member printed Chloe Smith question first answered 12/07/2022 15:22:00 answering member 1609 label Biography information for Chloe Smith
