Home Carers Tax Credit

Home Carers Top Tax Tips

"You may have been a home carer in the past for a year, if you took time off when having a child or been unemployed.

If you have been a home carer for any year since 2009, the benefit can still be claimed." Frances

Who can claim?

A home carer is where one of a married couple cares for a dependent person, typically a child or an elderly/disabled adult.

How much can be claimed?

To claim the full tax allowance, the home carer’s income must not exceed €5,080 in the year.

2009 - 2010: Maximum Home Carers Tax Credit of €900.

2010 - 2012: Maximum Tax Credit Reduced to €810

Even if both you and your spouse earn over €5,080, there are other refunds you may be due, so make sure to talk to one of our tax team.
