Universal Credit: Is Universal Credit taxable?

Universal Credit is a non-taxable income and so can be left off any tax forms.

Other non-taxable incomes include Child Tax Credit, Disability Living Allowance, Housing Benefit Winter Fuel Payments and Personal Independence Payments.

Taxable benefits include Bereavement Allowance, Carer’s Allowance, Employment and Support Allowance and State Pension. 

Widowed Mother’s Allowance, Widowed Parent’s Allowance and Widow’s Pension are all also taxable.
