I posted this on the Money board but there's not a lot of traffic there!
My DP is subject to a CSA case but has been assessed as minimum payments for the last year as he's been unemployed. We've been receiving WTC because I've got a P/T job and am self employed - they have based the payments on an estimate of my annual earnings.
DP has secured a low paying p/t job - and we will continue to receive some WTC. I know that if he is the higher earner in the household, the CSA include the WTC as part of his income for assessment purposes, but if I'm the higher earner, they don't. But over what period? Some weeks/months, I'll earn more than DP, but other weeks/months I won't have much work and he'll earn more.
Help! How does this work? His CSA assessment year doesn't run in line with the tax year, so that's no help either!
