Hello all, please could someone advise me if sick pay received from the DWP is taxable and should be included on the clients self assessment? Thanks in advance

I believe that Income based is tax free but contribution based is taxable

Thank you for your reply, how do you know if its income or contribution based? Sorry if this is a stupid question

Your client should know from when they applied for it
