Tax Credit
- Question
- To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether people serving prison sentences in the UK are entitled to tax credits; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
Families’ entitlement to tax credits does not stop because one of the family is in prison. The children and partner still need to be supported and, in some instances, prisoners could be named on a claim that predates their imprisonment without impacting on the value of the award.
