Entering Arts Council funding on Tax return

Hi, where do I enter a grant received from the Arts Council on a self assessment tax return please? As it is not earned income do I have to put it in at all? Have looked at all the sections but am lost!!
Thanks, Ruth

First principles apply. What is the grant for? For instance the setting up of a business and acquisition of premises or equipment etc, or to supplement income during its infancy? In other words is it capital or revenue? What do you do? Why were you eligible for the grant? Did the Arts Council provide guidance on how the receipt might be treated?

Whether it is earned or unearned income does not determine the tax treatment.

Indeed, is there any trade?
