1. There is no rental income as the houses are no for anyones use other than me, my children and husband.

2. I have already stated that for 20+ years both my husband and I paid int othe system excessively.

3. Post 90 is useful but the income a husband gives a wife in the absence of a job is not income as described.

On what basis do you believe 3. above is true?

I'm asking on the basis that, for instance, a UK resident person receiving a pension from overseas has to pay tax on that pension income in the UK. I'm interested how the "absence of a job" has any relevance to what is clearly income for you.

In sure it is when it's coming from a tax haven/offshore.

I may be short but I do not live under a bridge.

I sought an answer to what was household income that is all, others seem to be on a crusade of attacking and developing arguments.

Please feel free to ignore me.

I have a feeling plenty of people will

Is no one else smelling troll here?

The OP comes along asking for help, is continually vague as to what help they apparently need, and as the thread goes on makes it clear that they know all there is to about the system - they don't need help at all. And all along, drip feeding hints about their lifestyle to wind people up ...

It's claiming that they paid for their own university "entirely" that sealed it for me. Trying to get out of it by now claiming they were post graduate degrees doesn't add up either as they would have completed their undergraduate degrees before that; and there were no tuition fees for undergraduates then as the tax payer funded it.

How can someone forget that they didn't pay tuition fees when they did their degree? Or that they were an undergratuate before they did a post graduate?

Have the children gone back to school yet?

IF, the OP had the intention of claiming say tax credits (just for arguments sake), maintenance is not counted as income, IF according to HMRC's rules the OP is counted as single then monies from the non-resident parent would by their rules be maintenance. I am not looking at this from a moral angle, but applying their rules. Personally I couldn't/wouldn't claim them, but legally it's a bit of a grey area I think.

I sought advice and information not arguments and disputes.

Yes the children have gone back to school and yes the schools are privately paid for.

Household income does not include me using money from my savings account, it does include the interest.

If anyone has a link to a 3rd party definition of household income that would suffice.? With a couple of exceptions the comments so far have simply been abusive and not that useful.

Well some of us have tried to help but you know what, try Google.

"Household income is defined as the total income of all members of a household aged 15 years or older. Household members do not have to be related"

When you think that there some single parents out there now losing child benefit yet contributing 40% of their income and some paying high rate childcare and you have people like the OP clearly with a household income probably at least double that of that single parent having no shame looking into claiming CB. Hate to think what values these children are growing up with.

I guess that's down to the Dubaian nanny.

For some forms of benefit if you have over £16k in savings and investment you cannot claim, which may affect you as you say you are using your savings.

If your husband is transferring money into the savings account from outside the UK, I think that would count as income. I seem to remember that if you transfer money into the UK to another person (such as your husband sending money to you) if it is above a certain limit it is taxed.
