sector
New Deal participants who work for a provider through the
Environment Task Force (ETF) option or the voluntary sector (VS)

- if they receive a wage the tax treatment
follows that for New Deal option 1 - work in a subsidised job with
an employer (see
EIM01653). For years up to and including
1999/2000 there was no NICs liability on wages paid under options 3

options
- if they receive a training allowance there
are no tax or NICs (see
