Family tax credit and Best Start tax credit

Young partners getting Supported Living Payment will be paid family tax credit and Best Start tax credit along with their benefit. They cannot receive it from Inland Revenue.

Family tax credit and Best Start tax credit can only be paid to one person in a couple. Generally it is paid to the primary caregiver.

Inland Revenue is responsible for establishing and recovering any debt created.

Note a young partner cannot review the decision on how their portion of Supported Living Payment is paid to them.
