What income will be used to work out child maintenance under the new scheme?
A. In the future the way child maintenance is worked out will be much simpler so that it will be a faster, more accurate and transparent process. It is proposed that we will use the latest tax year information as a basis for calculating a child maintenance liability, unless current income differs by at least 25%. This information will be sourced directly from HM Revenue & Customs and will reduce the time it takes to make a maintenance calculation.
