There are currently no known outstanding effects for the The Universal Credit Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2016, Section 63.
Revised legislation carried on this site may not be fully up to date. At the current time any known changes or effects made by subsequent legislation have been applied to the text of the legislation you are viewing by the editorial team. Please see ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ for details regarding the timescales for which new effects are identified and recorded on this site.
63.—(1) This regulation applies to a claimant who—
(a)is in gainful self-employment (see regulation 65), and
(b)would apart from this regulation [F1or regulation 89 (claimants subject to no work-related requirements – the earnings threshold)], fall within Article 27 of the Order (claimants subject to all work related requirements).
(2) Where this regulation applies to a single claimant, for any assessment period in respect of which the claimant's earned income is less than their individual threshold, the claimant is to be treated as having earned income equal to that threshold.
(3) Where this regulation applies to a claimant who is a member of a couple, for any assessment period in respect of which—
(a)the claimant's earned income is less than their individual threshold, and
(b)the couple's combined earned income is less than the couple threshold,
the claimant is to be treated as having earned income equal to their individual threshold minus any amount by which that amount of earned income combined with their partner's earned income would exceed the couple threshold.
(4) In this regulation references to the claimant's individual threshold and to the couple threshold are to the amounts set out in regulation 89(2) and 89(3) respectively, converted to net amounts by deducting such amount for income tax and national insurance contributions as the Department considers appropriate.
(5) Where this regulation applies in respect of an assessment period in which surplus earnings are treated as an amount of earned income under regulation 54 (surplus earnings), that amount is to be added to the claimant's earned income before this regulation is applied and, in the case of joint claimants, it is to be added to the earned income of either member of the couple so as to produce the lowest possible amount of combined earned income after this regulation is applied.
(6) An assessment period referred to in this regulation does not include an assessment period which falls wholly within a start-up period or begins or ends in a start-up period.
