Are tax credit payments included in your 'income' for DaDAs?

[Katymac]

Or not?

Is it your earnt income or your total income?

TIA

I think its your total income, but not 100 % sure, as I know with other performing arts funding i.e YMT or NYT its your total income.

[Katymac]

Oh poo!

I thought it was earnings

[Katymac]

I don't think they did for the MDS

Oh I wish these things were clearer

[Robsmumma]

Its your TOTAL income, even income from savings, benefits and insurance policies. Everything!
Italia Conti dont send out the application until awarded, well they didnt last year, just the declaration of income form.

[Robsmumma]

Just had another look through the form (I still have the Conti one from last year). You have to declare the income, you can just send in your tax credit award notice, not sure if they count it though, its a bit vague

[Katymac]

That's what I thought

It almost looks as if they use the income declared on you TC Award Notice to calculate it

But the actual TC could be included - I didn't think it was clear either

[Robsmumma]

Dd seems to think (or been led to believe) that things may change slightly this year. So who know?

[Robsmumma]

Do you have the actual DaDA form? This one is 17 pages lol

[Katymac]

Nope just the 2 sided income declaration thing (which says about the TC award notice)

Depending on how they calculate it, including TC would make a massive difference
