Clause 27 - Overpayments
Tax Credits Bill
5:00 pm
Mr Paul Boateng (Financial Secretary, HM Treasury; Brent South, Labour)
Their entitlement will be based on their current financial circumstances. At the end of the year, if the reconciliation is such that some overpayment has been made, the provision will apply. That will be subject to regulations and thresholds. Short of accepting the sort of benefit model that the hon. Gentleman suggests, that cannot be avoided.
