§ Mr. BlunkettTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what guidelines there are on income tax liability for Government grants made to individuals to meet the costs of non-statutory services. [19136]
§ Mr. JackThe income tax liability on any particular Government grant would depend on the nature of the grant and the circumstances of the individual. For example, a grant provided by Government which is not income or benefit from employment or profit from a trade or profession, would not be liable to income tax under schedule D or E.
