    Income Help
    Hello, for my parents details the form wants the total gross taxable income, which i'm presuming is the total income before tax. However, it takes this income as the household income which surely should be income after tax not before. Therefore by Household Income do SFE mean before tax? Thank you for your help.

    If it states gross (before tax and other deductions) then you should provide gross. The figures get cross checked against HMRC records and if the numbers don't match they then ask for a P60 so it's worth getting it right. The figures stated in the guidance for "household income" are, if I remember correctly, gross income.
