Carer for incapacitated person (housekeeper allowance)

You can claim an allowance for a carer ( for example a housekeeper)  you employ to care for an incapacitated relative

For example:

If you employ a carer for your elderly parent and if your income is €60,000

You pay the carer €20,000

Your taxable income is therefore €40,000 after the deduction of €20,000 ( €60,000 less €40,000 ) thereby generating a tax refund.

You must register as an employer and pay the required PAYE/PRSI
