    Yes as its taxable income and would need to be declared.

    May have an affect because it is taxable income. Whether or not it affects the amount of CTC depends on the total amount of taxable income from all relevant resources.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.
