GS (Public Funds – Tax Credits) India: UTIAC 12 Oct 2010

UTIAC Paragraph 6C of the Immigration Rules specifies that an applicant for entry clearance whose arrival would cause an increase in the tax credits which his sponsor is already receiving will (in contrast to in-country applicants under paragraph 6B) be regarded as having recourse to public funds. But where the applicant will be joining a spouse or partner who is both working and bringing up children, the amount of working tax credit payable will actually be reduced. That is because the sponsor will lose the lone parent supplement which forms part of the working tax credit.
