Saving Gateway Accounts Bill

We believe it is right that people who live or work in the UK and claim one of the qualifying benefits or tax credits should be eligible for the saving gateway. The draft regulations will ensure that people must be ordinarily resident in the UK, in addition to having entitlement to a qualifying benefit or tax credit, to be eligible for the saving gateway. That would mean, broadly, that only people who live or work in the United Kingdom can open a saving gateway account. EU law means that we must extend it to those who work in the UK despite not living here.
