Paragraph 9A Estimate of net weekly income of self-employed earner where insufficient information availableF1F2

Where the Department is calculating net weekly income of a self-employed earner under this Part and the information available in relation to that income is insufficient or unreliable, the Department may estimate that income and, in doing so, may make any assumptions as to any fact.

Where the Department is satisfied that the non-resident parent is engaged in a particular occupation as a self-employed earner, the assumptions referred to in sub-paragraph (1) may include an assumption that the non-resident parent has the average net weekly income of a person engaged in that occupation in the United Kingdom or any part of the United Kingdom.
