MA 2: Relationship with core provisions
or “How tax credits from this part affect your income tax”
You could also call this:

“Money you get from tax credits doesn't count as income for tax purposes”

If you receive a tax credit under this Part, you don’t have to count it as income for tax purposes. This means the government won’t tax you on the money you get from this tax credit. It’s like getting a special type of money that doesn’t count when you’re figuring out how much tax you need to pay.
