Employing a person to take care of an incapacitated person

Employing a person or agency to take care of an incapacitated person

Where you employ a person to care for a family member or relative who is totally physically or mentally incapacitated, you can claim an allowance of the amount of expenses actually incurred in employing that person subject to a maximum of €75,000.

In order to claim this allowance, you have to register as an employer and operate PAYE/PRSI and USC on the payments.

Any amount recoverable from HSE, in respect of the cost of employing a carer does not qualify for tax relief
