  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations modify Chapter 5 of Part 10 of the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (c. 1) (“ITEPA”), by inserting a new scheme of social security benefits and payments into Table B in section 677 of ITEPA so as to provide that no liability to income tax arises from those benefits and payments.\nRegulation 2 modifies Part 1 of Table B in section 677 of ITEPA so that is has effect as if a new row was inserted into it, in order to wholly exempt Crisis and Resilience Fund payments from income tax. It also makes a consequential modification to the Table in Part 1 of Schedule 1 to ITEPA, so that the Table has effect as if the abbreviation for the Local Government Act 2003 (c. 26) were inserted into it.\nA Tax Information and Impact Note has not been prepared for this instrument as it contains no substantive changes to tax policy.",
