answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2016 answer text <p>From April 2016, the income rise disregard – the amount by which a tax credit claimant’s income can increase within a year before their tax credit award is adjusted – will be reduced from £5,000 to £2,500.</p><p> </p><p>The only people who will be affected by this will be those who see an increase in their in-year income by more than £2,500. There will be no net cash losers because their income will have increased.</p><p> </p><p>In the subsequent tax year, a claimant’s tax credits award will be calculated in the usual way, using their full annual income for the previous year to determine their tax credit entitlement. This means that after the change in the tax year, whether the claimant’s increase in income was above or below the disregard level, their tax credit award for the following year will be adjusted to what it would have been had no disregard existed.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds grouped question UIN 29267 29327 question first answered 07/03/2016 11:53:18 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
