Savings (Government Contributions) Act 2017 section Sch 2 para 4

Eligible person

Schedule 2 paragraph 4 defines who counts as an "eligible person" for the purposes of the Help to Save scheme on any given day.

  • An individual is an "eligible person" on a particular day if they satisfy both a benefit entitlement condition and the UK connection condition on that day.
  • The benefit entitlement conditions relate to working tax credit (paragraph 5), universal credit (paragraph 6), or any additional conditions specified by Treasury regulations (paragraph 8(1)(a)).
  • The UK connection condition (paragraph 7) must also be met on the same day.
  • The Treasury has the power to make regulations treating an individual as an eligible person even if they would not otherwise qualify.
