Recommendation
It would be unacceptable if payments made to remedy past discrimination were rendered ineffective as a result of reductions caused by taxation or diminution of benefits. We advise that the Government should consider carefully and be clear about the implications of the Remedial Order for taxation, tax credits and Universal Credit, ensuring that those who would receive retrospective payments under the Remedial Order are not disadvantaged.
