Are tax credits included as part of household income?
Hi,
I am wondering whether household income, when assessed by Student Finance England includes tax credits e.g. Working Tax credit and child tax credit and/or state benefits such as Housing Benefit and Child Benefit. This is because my household income, solely from employment, is low enough to receive the full bursary from uni, but if it includes tax credits and/or state benefits, then I will not be entitled to the bursary. Thank you

Hi there,
No - tax credits don't need to be declared as they are non taxable. You only need to declare taxable benefits. Thanks, Jason
