WIDER POLICIES
Wales-Specific Income Policy

Tax and benefits policy is the responsibility of the UK Government, HM Treasury (see UK Work Policy section).

Welsh Assembly policy is restricted to potentially lobbying the UK Government about issues of concern and to developing other policies to help people in low paid work.

Wales has more low paid workers, and more people in receipt of tax credits, than most other parts of the UK.  Any changes to the eligibility criteria for tax credits to make them more suitable for homeless people in work might therefore have a greater impact in Wales.
