tabling member constituency	Southport
tabling member printed	Damien Moore
uin	4022
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2021 answer text <p>The income information for a child maintenance calculation is obtained directly from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). This method is consistent for all of our paying parents including earnings from self-employment.</p><p>Either parent may request a variation to a maintenance calculation to allow the Child Maintenance Service (CMS) to consider some circumstances which are not covered by the basic calculation. This includes unearned income such as rental income from property or land, or dividends and interest from savings and investments. If a variation succeeds, the maintenance liability may be adjusted.</p><p>Cases involving complex income or suspected fraud can be referred to the CMS’s Financial Investigation Unit (FIU), a specialist team who can request information from financial institutions to check the maintenance calculation accurately reflects financial circumstances. If an investigation finds evidence of criminality the FIU may seek to prosecute or forward to HMRC for fraud action.</p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 24/05/2021 13:08:23 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman
