Judicial Summary
FTT decisions on appeals against decisions made under s.16 Tax Credits Act should be phrased in terms of “amending” or “terminating” an “award”, not in terms of “entitlement” to tax credits. Such decisions should not replicate HMRC’s computer “workaround” under which s.16 decisions that should terminate an award from the outset or amend it by reducing it to nil are implemented by making an award of tax credits for a single day.
