Introduction

803Overview of Chapter 2

F31

This Chapter provides relief on income from the provision by an individual of qualifying care.

The relief is referred to in this Chapter as “qualifying care relief”.

2

The form of relief depends on whether the individual's total F4qualifying care receipts exceed the individual's limit (see sections 807 to 811).

3

If they do not, the income is not charged to income tax (see sections 812 to 814).

4

If they do, the individual may elect for an alternative method of calculating the income (see sections 815 to 819).

5

If the F5qualifying care receipts are the receipts of a trade, special rules apply —

a

if the period of account of the trade does not end on 5th April (see sections 820 to 823), and

b

in relation to capital allowances (see sections 824 to 827).

The provisions of this Chapter which are expressed to apply in relation to trades also apply in relation to professions and vocations.
