Home carer tax credit

[alegalalien]

Hi All,

I just wonder, if the wife has no job and staying at home taking care of kids,
Can we claim the Home Carer tax credit ?

Does it affect her possibility for Irish citizenship application a few years later ?

And is it possible for the wife to register for a PAYE account on PAYE website as she has PPS number but no job, no tax ?

Thank you.

No you can not Claim the Home Carers Tax Credit , i am of the opinion that such a credit is for people who care for elderly /ill/disabled persons only , not for your own Kids . i am however not 100% sure , so please i am open to correction on this matter . thank you all , and wishing you the best of Luck .
