Yes Neil -
7. Taxation
7.1 Members’ allowances will be treated as earned income and will be subject to income tax and
national insurance at the prevailing rates. It will be the Councillor’s responsibility to provide
details of his/her tax code and other sources of income to the Council’s payroll section to
enable the correct deductions to be made.
7.2 Members who claim other allowances and benefits (including job seeker’s allowance,
incapacity benefit, housing benefit, etc.) should be aware of the effects that receiving a
Member’s allowance will have on the levels of those benefits and allowances. In cases of
doubt, advice should be sought from the local office of the Department of Work and
Pensions and the Council’s Housing Benefits Section.
All fair and square.
No, I am not Graham's mouthpiece .. just that he has gone off line ...LOL.
