All income used by self funders to pay for care needs should not be taxed.

Petition Details

Phase Two of the Care Act 2014 has been delayed, resulting in self funders having to finance care needs until their assets, including the value of the family home, fall below £23,500. The Act included a cap on the maximum fees that could be paid. Tax relief on income for this purpose would be fair.

Additional Information

The Government Care Act Fact Sheets state:

"These reforms aim to give everyone the peace of mind that they will be protected from catastrophic care costs by means of a cap on care costs."

Also "The cap will limit the amount people have to pay towards the cost of their eligible care and support over their lifetime."

Delay in implementation does not protect people receiving care “from catastrophic care costs by means of a cap”.
