Dependent Relative Tax Credit (Ireland)

Helping PAYE employees claim refunds quickly and securely.

Dependent Relative Tax Credit (Ireland)

The Dependent Relative Tax Credit is a tax relief available to PAYE workers in Ireland who financially support a dependent relative. This credit helps reduce the amount of income tax you pay if you are supporting a family member who relies on you for financial assistance.

A dependent relative may include an elderly parent, grandparent, or another close family member who cannot fully support themselves due to age, illness, or financial hardship.

To qualify for the Dependent Relative Tax Credit, the person you support must have a low income and depend on you for their basic living costs. The tax credit can be claimed if you provide financial support for accommodation, food, medical care, or other essential expenses.

At KCL Tax Rebates, we help PAYE workers review their tax records and claim the Dependent Relative Tax Credit where eligible. Many workers do not realise they qualify for this relief and may be entitled to claim back tax from previous years.

Our team ensures your claim is submitted correctly to Revenue so you can receive the maximum refund you are entitled to.
