13. This Chapter makes provision for the calculation of a person's (“P's”) residual income where P means the following—
(a)where P's income is aggregated under Step 1 in paragraph 3(1) for the purpose of calculating an eligible student's household income—
(i)the parent of the eligible student,
(ii)the eligible student's partner, or
(iii)the eligible student's parent's partner,
as the case may be;
(b)the adult dependant of an eligible student for the purposes of calculating the amount of grant for dependants payable to the student (see regulation 77).
14. P's residual income is calculated as follows—
P's taxable income for the applicable financial year.
Plus
Income payable to P under a pension arrangements order during the applicable financial year, net of income tax.
Minus
The aggregate of the deductions set out in paragraph 15 (unless already deducted for the purposes of determining P's taxable income).
15.—(1) For the purposes of calculating P's residual income, the deductions are— Deduction A The gross amount of any premium or sum paid by P in respect of a pension during the applicable financial year, in relation to which—
(a)relief is given under section 188 of the Finance Act 2004, or
(b)where P's income is computed for the purposes of the income tax legislation of [F1a member State], relief would be given if that legislation made provision equivalent to the Income Tax Acts,
but not including any sum paid as a premium under a policy of life assurance. Deduction B Where paragraph 18 applies, a sum equivalent to Deduction A provided that this sum does not exceed the deductions which would be made if the whole of P's income were in fact income for the purposes of the Income Tax Acts. Deduction C £1,130, where P—
(a)is an eligible student in respect of the current academic year but is also the parent of an eligible student, or
(b)holds a statutory award in respect of the same period.
