Decision Makers Guide - DMG42013

Capital paid by instalments

If payments of capital are made by instalments the decision maker has to decide whether each instalment, as it becomes payable, is to be treated as income or capital. If the applicant or partner receives instalments of capital the decision maker should
1) total the amount of the instalments outstanding at the date of application and
2) add to that total all other capital owned or treated as owned by the applicant.

Note Outstanding instalments also have a separate value; the value of the right to receive them. This value is disregarded under DMG44008(11.3)).
