Commentary on Sections Part 7: Income charged under this Act: rent-a-room and foster-care relief Overview Section 806: Meaning of providing foster care
3001.This section explains what is meant by references in this Chapter to the provision of foster care. It is based on paragraph 4 of Schedule 36 to FA 2003.
3002.Foster care is regulated by a number of non-tax laws. These are cited in the source legislation as a part of the qualifying conditions to benefit from the relief: an individual will qualify only if he or she is a foster carer by virtue of those non-tax laws.
3003.Subsections (3) and (4) list the relevant non-tax tax laws. They do not reproduce the references in paragraph 4(3)(a) and (b)(i) of Schedule 36 to FA 2003 to the particular provision of the regulations at 9 April 2003. Those references are of no substantive effect and if the regulations are altered the references will not be helpful.
