Hi there

Can anyone tell me if the Maintenance Grant and local postcode bursary are classed as taxable income for tax credit purposes ? I know the loans probably arent....

Many thanks

    I have no idea when the local postcode bursary is?
    On the other hand, the miantenace grant is NOT looked at for CTC purposes, there are only one or 2 types of finance that are counted and this is not one of them.
    Hope that helps

    When I phoned they said only earnt taxable income. Saying that they change their mind every 5 minuites, but if you call them they will do a preliminary re-calculation for you.
