Tax on the Energy Bill Support Scheme

Hi, Do I need to pay tax on £400 energy discount from EDF for winter 2022 to 2023 that all households received as the Energy Bill Support Scheme? https://www.gov.uk/get-help-energy-bills/getting-discount-energy-bill Also, I'm not sure whether answer depends on the fact that I'm UK resident on a Skilled worker visa, but not a UK citizen. Do I need to include these £400 in my self-assessment or not? Thanks

Hi

No, you dont include this anywhere as it is not taxable.

Thank you

Thank you for your answer! Is it true that the Energy Bill Support Scheme is also not applicable to the following section in the self-assessment? "Did you receive any UK pensions, annuities, or state benefits, for example, state pension, occupational pension, retirement annuity, Incapacity Benefit?" And it would be correct to answer "No" if I didn't receive payments from the UK government except the Energy Bill Support Scheme?

Hi
That is correct.
