36.—(1) Subject to paragraph (2), “earnings” means in the case of employment as a self-employed earner, the gross income of the employment.
(2) “Earnings” does not include any payment to which paragraph 30 or 31 of Schedule 4 refers (payments in respect of a person accommodated with the applicant under arrangements made by a local authority or voluntary organisation and payments made to the applicant by a health authority, local authority or voluntary organisation in respect of persons temporarily in the applicant’s care) nor does it include any sports award.
(3) This paragraph applies to—
(a)royalties or other sums paid as a consideration for the use of, or the right to use, any copyright, design, patent or trade mark; and
(b)any payment in respect of any—
(i)book registered under the Public Lending Right Scheme 1982(1); or
(ii)work made under any international public lending right scheme that is analogous to the Public Lending Right Scheme 1982,
where the applicant is the first owner of the copyright, design, patent or trade mark, or an original contributor to the book or work concerned.
(4) Where the applicant’s earnings consist of any items to which paragraph (3) applies, those earnings are to be taken into account over a period equal to the number of weeks equal to the number obtained (and any fraction is to be treated as a corresponding fraction of a week) by dividing the earnings by the amount of council tax reduction to which the applicant would have been entitled had the payment not been made plus an amount equal to the total of the sums which would fall to be disregarded from the payment under Schedule 3 (sums to be disregarded in the calculation of earnings) as appropriate in the applicant’s case.
The Scheme is set out in the Appendix to S.I. 1982/719.
