    Default maternity pay/pre registered earnings/grant

    hi all

    just trying to finalise my 2013/14 return and got a few questions

    1) i got a £250 grant, do I include this as part of my income? as part of my assessment, if so where does it go? i am completing an online assessment

    2) i was on maternity pay paid via DWP, as I had been made redundant so was not pay Statutory Maternity pay by an employer, do I include this as part of my income? as part of my assessment, if so where does it go?

    3) I registered as self employed mid feb, but had actually started earning a bit before, so i guess i should state my actual start date on my return and include all income received?

    4) where I started in Feb, it was not a full month, so do i calculate my council tax and water etc on a pro-rata basis?

    thanks all

    Just put it in income and claim the 10% wear and tear and then put the expenses through as normal

    Sorry don't know the answer to this - would refer you to the hmrc or an accountant

    3) I registered as self employed mid feb, but had actually started earning a bit before, so i guess i should state my actual start date on my return and include all income received?

    Would put your start date on your form when you actually received money

    4) where I started in Feb, it was not a full month, so do i calculate my council tax and water etc on a pro-rata basis?

    Use the bills and divide by 52 weeks and then multiply by the number of weeks worked

    thanks all
    Hope that all helps - just a note - if you submit by paper you will have to work out your refund/payment yourself now that we are past 31st October but if you do it online the system will calculate for you

    Maternity pay does not need to be declared I was on maternity leave from April to September last year & have been told this doesn't need to go on my tax return xx
