3 Can I apply for Housing Benefit and/or Council Tax Benefit if I am self-employed? Yes, if your (and your partner s, if you have one) total savings are under 16,000. Savings below 6,000 are ignored for working age customers. Savings above 6,000 may reduce the amount of benefit you will get. Please note that if you have a partner both your savings will be added together and the same 6,000 rules applied. How will you work out whether I am entitled to Benefit? We decide whether or not you are entitled to Housing Benefit and/or Council Tax Benefit based on your and your partner s income, savings and personal circumstances. Complete a Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit application form and send us your latest audited business accounts or the accounts you provide for HM Revenue & Customs - we will need to see originals as proof of your self-employed earnings. What do I do if I do not have audited accounts? If you do not have audited accounts or they are not up to date, fill in a Self-Employed Earnings Certificate and send it to us. We will work out your weekly earnings (after tax and National Insurance) from your business and add this to any other income you and your partner receive. What if I have not been trading for a full year? If you have not been self-employed for a full year, complete a Self-Employed Earnings Certificate. This asks you for the income received, expenses incurred and details of the trading period. Please note that Self-Employed Earnings Certificates are availble from Council offices or on-line. 3
4 What if my trading position has changed since the accounts were audited? We will use your latest accounts as these usually provide an accurate picture of your trading position. However, if your business activity has changed significantly since these were audited, it may be possible to work out your benefit using more recent figures if you can provide sufficient evidence to support them. Please contact us to discuss the evidence we would require. You must still send us an original set of your accounts with your completed Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit application. How will you work out my earnings? To work out your weekly earnings for benefit, we first need to work out your business profit before tax. We will deduct any amounts you have had to spend to run your business (we do not deduct any personal or household expenses or savings). We then work out your weekly income based on this and deduct tax, National Insurance and 50% of any private pension contributions you make, to give us the amount we need to work out your benefit. Please note that we are unable to accept your Tax Return as proof of your self-employed accounts. What about my savings and personal expenses? When we work out the profit of your business, we will add back in any savings you take from the business or any household or personal expenses you pay from the business. We work out your weekly earnings for benefit purposes using your share of the profit of the business. 4
5 Business Partnerships If you are employed in a partnership your net weekly earnings (after tax and National Insurance) will be based on your share of the business profit. Self-employed childminders If you are a self-employed childminder we will use one third of your gross earnings to work out your benefit entitlement. No expenses are taken into consideration. What can I do if I disagree with your decision on application for Housing and/or Council Tax Benefit? If you disagree with our decision, you can ask us to look at it again. Our letters tell you what your rights are. For more information see our leaflet What do I do if I disagree with your decision (leaflet 7 APP). 5
