Housing & Construction Authority: Housing benefits and rental matters

What if I have income from a private business or a foreign income?

If the applicant or any other household member receives income from a private business or any foreign income that does not appear in the Icelandic Tax withholding register, the applicant needs to notify HMS of these amounts so we can include them in our income estimate.
Otherwise, we will not be aware of it until we have access to next years tax return and as a result, overpaid benefits may have to be collected.
