2.—(1) The amount of an eligible part-time student’s contribution depends on the household income.
(2) The household income is —
(a)in the case of an eligible part-time student who has a partner, the residual income of the eligible part-time student aggregated with the residual income of that student’s partner (subject to sub-paragraph (4)); or
(b)in the case of an eligible part-time student who does not have a partner, the residual income of that student.

3.—(1) For the purpose of determining the residual income of an eligible part-time student, there is deducted from his or her taxable income (unless already deducted in determining taxable income) the gross amount of any premium or other sum paid by the eligible part-time student in relation to a pension (not being a pension payable under a policy of life insurance) in respect of which relief is given under section 273 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988(1) or under section 188 of the Finance Act 2004(2), or where the eligible part-time student’s income is computed for the purposes of the income tax legislation of another Member State, the gross amount of any such premium or sum in respect of which relief would be given if that legislation made provision equivalent to the Income Tax Acts.
(2) Where the only paragraph in Part 2 of Schedule 1 into which an eligible part-time student falls is paragraph 9 and his or her income arises from sources or under legislation different from sources or legislation normally relevant to a person referred to in paragraph 9 of Part 2 of Schedule 1, his or her income is not disregarded in accordance with sub-paragraph (1) but is instead disregarded to the extent necessary to ensure that he or she is treated no less favourably than a person who is referred to in any paragraph of Part 2 of Schedule 1 would be treated if in similar circumstances and in receipt of similar income.
(3) Where the eligible part-time student receives income in a currency other than sterling, the value of that income for the purpose of this paragraph is—
(a)if the student purchases sterling with the income, the amount of sterling the student so receives;
(b)otherwise, the value of the sterling which the income would purchase using the rate for the month in which it is received published by the Office for National Statistics(3).
4.—(1) For the purposes of determining the taxable income of an eligible part-time student’s partner, any deductions which fall to be made or exemptions which are permitted—

(b)pursuant to any enactment or rule of law under which payments which would otherwise under United Kingdom law form part of a person’s income are not treated as such; or
(c)under sub-paragraph (2)
must not be made or permitted.
(2) For the purposes of determining the residual income of an eligible part-time student’s partner, there is deducted from the taxable income determined under sub-paragraph (1) the aggregate of any amounts falling within any of the following sub-paragraphs—
(a)the gross amount of any premium or sum relating to a pension (not being a premium payable under a policy of life assurance) in respect of which relief is given under section 273 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988, or under section 188 of the Finance Act 2004, or where the income is computed for the purposes of the income tax legislation of another Member State, the gross amount of any such premium in respect of which relief would be given if that legislation made provision equivalent to the Income Tax Acts;
(b)in any case where income is computed for the purposes of the Income Tax Acts by virtue of sub-paragraph (6) any sums equivalent to the deduction mentioned in sub-paragraph (a) of this sub-paragraph, provided that any sums so deducted do not exceed the deductions which would be made if the whole of the eligible part-time student’s partner’s income were in fact income for the purposes of the Income Tax Acts.
(3) Where the Welsh Ministers are satisfied that the residual income of the partner in the financial year beginning immediately before the relevant year (“the current financial year”) is likely to be not more than 85 per cent of the sterling value of his or her residual income in the preceding financial year they may, for the purpose of enabling the eligible part-time student to attend the course without hardship, ascertain the partner’s residual income for the current financial year.
(4) Where the Welsh Ministers are satisfied that the residual income of the partner in any financial year is, as a result of any event, likely to be and to continue after that year to be not more than 85 per cent. of the sterling value of his or her residual income in the previous financial year they may, for the purpose of enabling the eligible part-time student to attend the course without hardship, ascertain the household income for the academic year of the eligible part-time student’s course in which that event occurred by taking as the residual income of the partner the average of his or her residual income for each of the financial years in which that academic year falls.
(5) Where the eligible part-time student’s partner satisfies the Welsh Ministers that his or her income is wholly or mainly derived from the profits of a business or profession carried on by him or her, then any reference in this Schedule to a preceding financial year means the earliest period of twelve months which ends after the start of the preceding financial year and in respect of which accounts are kept relating to that business or profession.
(6) Where an eligible part-time student’s partner is in receipt of any income which does not form part of his or her income for the purposes of the Income Tax Acts or the income tax legislation of another Member State by reason only that—
(a)he or she is not resident, ordinarily resident or domiciled in the United Kingdom, or where his or her income is computed as for the purposes of the income tax legislation of another Member State, not so resident, ordinarily resident or domiciled in that Member State;
(b)the income does not arise in the United Kingdom, or where the partner’s income is computed as for the purposes of the income tax legislation of another Member State, does not arise in that Member State; or
(c)the income arises from an office, service or employment, income from which is exempt from tax in pursuance of any legislation,
his or her taxable income for the purposes of this Schedule is computed as though the income under this sub-paragraph were part of his or her income for the purposes of the Income Tax Acts or the income tax legislation of another Member State, as the case may be.
(7) Where the income of the eligible part-time student’s partner is computed as for the purposes of the income tax legislation of another Member State, it is computed under the provisions of this Schedule in the currency of that Member State and the income of the eligible part-time student’s partner for the purposes of this Schedule is the sterling value of that income determined in accordance with the rate for the month in which the last day of the financial year in question falls, as published by the Office for National Statistics.
(8) Where the Welsh Ministers determine that the eligible part-time student and his or her partner are separated for the duration of the relevant year, the partner’s income is not taken into account in determining the household income.
(9) Where the Welsh Ministers determine that the eligible part-time student and his or her partner have separated in the course of the relevant year, the partner’s income is determined by reference to his or her income under sub-paragraph (1) divided by fifty-two and multiplied by the number of complete weeks in the relevant year for which the Welsh Ministers determine that the eligible part-time student and his or her partner are not separated.
(10) Where an eligible part-time student has more than one partner in any one academic year, the provisions of this paragraph apply in relation to each.
5.—(1) The contribution payable in relation to an eligible part-time student is—
(a)in any case where the household income exceeds £39,793, £1 for every complete £9.27 by which the household income exceeds £39,793; and
(b)in any case where the household income is £39,793 or less, nil.
(2) The contribution must not in any case exceed £6,208.
(3) The contribution may be adjusted in accordance with paragraph 6.
(4) Where sub-paragraph (5) applies, the aggregate contributions must not exceed £6,208.
(5) This sub-paragraph applies where the household income consists of the residual income of an eligible part-time student and his or her partner where both hold a statutory award.
6. Where the same household income is used to assess the amount of a statutory award for which two or more persons qualify the contribution payable in respect of the eligible part-time student is divided by the number of such persons.
