The reckonable income for the purpose of the means test provision of the higher education grants scheme is the gross income from all sources, as accepted by the Revenue Commissioners, excluding only superannuation contributions, children's allowances under the Social Welfare Acts, holiday earnings of the candidate and payments under the family income supplement scheme.
