Michael McGrath says thousands could be missing out on carer tax credit

Fianna Fáil Finance Spokesperson Michael McGrath has said thousands of families may be missing out on tax relief of up to €1,500 per year because they are not aware of the Home Carer Tax Credit.
Commenting Deputy McGrath said that, "Fianna Fáil has consistently highlighted the need for the Home Carer Tax Credit to be increased and we were pleased to secure a further €300 increase in the credit for 2019 in last week’s Budget. The Home Carer Tax Credit is designed to help families where one parent works in the home to care for one or more children or a dependent person.
