Circumstances in which income and capital of a non-dependant is to be treated as applicant’s

This section has no associated Policy Notes

37.—(1) Where it appears to the relevant authority that a non-dependant and the applicant have entered into arrangements in order to take advantage of the council tax reduction scheme set out in these Regulations and the non-dependant has more capital and income than the applicant, the authority must, except where the applicant is on a qualifying income-related benefit, treat the applicant as possessing the capital and income of the non-dependant and must disregard any capital and income which the applicant does possess.

(2) Where an applicant is treated as possessing the capital and income of a non-dependant under paragraph (1) the capital and income of that non-dependant is to be calculated or estimated in accordance with the provisions of this Part as if it was the capital and income of the applicant and any reference to the “applicant” is, except where the context otherwise requires, to be construed for the purposes of this Part as if it were a reference to that non-dependant.
