I may be mistaken but I thought benefits now counted towards taxable income?

Erm I’m not on benefits lol… So if that’s a dig erm ta :laughing:

It’s not a dig, but I thought SSP was considered to be a benefit.

EDIT. Whatever it is or isn’t, it is treated as income for tax purposes.

Do I have to pay tax on sick pay?
Usually yes. Statutory sick pay is treated as earned income, so you’ll have to pay both income tax and Class 1 National Insurance contributions on it in the same way you would on your salary.

EDIT AGAIN. Yes, Statutory Sick Pay is considered to be a state benefit.
