GRANTS TAX POSITION

• Grants are NON-REPAYABLE.
• Grants are out of the scope of VAT thus you do not have to account for VAT and are excluded from your VAT return for value of sales in box 6.
• Grants are classed as taxable income as they are to replace income during hardship.
• EXCEPT if you employ domestic staff at home e.g. a carer, outside of any business, the employment cost does not save you any tax, thus the grant is not taxable income.
