Due a tax rebate this year
Was thinking on opening another bank/savings account and have it paid into that.
It won’t be thousands but a few hundred I would rather not pay into my Iva .

You might "rather not" pay it into the IVA, but you should not hide it either. If discoverd later on they could fail the whole arrangement.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.

It will need to be paid across.

Thanks guys
Checked my paperwork today re the £500 windfall clause.
I’m due about £450
So hopefully I will get to keep it

It depends on the view your IP takes. As Recovering has said, some have been allowed to keep it, being dealt with under the windfall clause. However, some IP's have taken it as income -- the arguement being that, if assessed correctly at the time, the extra take home pay would have increased your disposable income and, therefore, been paid to the IVA. Of course, this premise is doubtful if the income the rebate relates to is wholly pre-IVA.

As with many things IVA - it is in the lap of your IP.

You will need to let them know.
