Tax Relief for Employing a Caregiver
Did you know that you claim up to 40% on the cost of hiring a caregiver?
You, your spouse or civil partner may claim tax relief in respect of the cost of employing a person (including a person whose services are provided by or through an agency) to take care of either -
a family member (including yourself, your spouse or civil partner) who is totally incapacitated by reason of physical or mental infirmity; or
a relative who is totally incapacitated by reason of physical or mental infirmity. Relative in this context includes a relation by marriage or civil partnership and includes an individual in respect of whom the claimant is or was the legal guardian.
