Incapacitated Child Tax Credit

Who can claim?

Where you have a child who is physically or mentally incapacitated in some way, in most cases you will be eligible for extra tax relief and can claim certain expenses.  It is available for adult children where the condition was diagnosed during childhood and prevents them taking an active part in the work force.

The disabilities which qualify include Blindness, Deafness, Cystic Fibrosis, Spina Bifida and acute Autism – this list is not exhaustive.

How much can be claimed?

The Tax Credit is available for each child with a condition, with the amount of the relief increasing from €1,000 in 2005 to €3,660 for the current year.
