Single Parent Tax Credit

Single Parent Top Tax Tips

"The one-parent family tax credit comes with a warning; if you are in receipt of this credit and at a later date move in with a partner, this relief is no longer payable.

But if you are due this Tax Credit, it can be worth more than €2,000 a year" Slavka

Who can claim?

The one-parent family tax credit can be claimed if you are a single mum or dad and you have a child who is dependent on you and resides with you for at least one night in the year.

In addition to children aged 18 or under, you can also receive this for an adult dependent in further education/training, and for incapacitated individuals - in most cases.

You do not qualify for one-parent family tax credit if:

• You are a person qualifying for the married person's tax credit or

• You are a person living together with another person as man and wife

How much can be claimed?

The one-parent family tax credit varies across the years up to €1,830 for the tax year 2010.

In Budget 2011, the single parent tax credit was reduced by 10% to €1,650 and remains the same for 2012
