ESA and tax?

[ladybird69]

I'm receiving ESA at the moment, the income related ESA, do I have to pay tax? as I got a form from the tax office but have no idea what to do about it. any advice would be great Tia

you don't pay tax on income based but you can on contribution based as you will be considered to have a higher income. Worth ringing tax office or filling in the form. I always get a tax summary at end of year but always shows zero owed.

Explains it here... Sort of!
