Home Care Tax Relief

Tax Relief

We can guide you through the process of claiming tax relief on the cost of our Home Care Service.

• You can claim tax relief on the payments made to HomeCarer Trusted Independent Living for homecare at your marginal rate of tax which is 20% or 40%.
• Maximum tax relief in a calendar year for homecare services is currently €75,000.

PAYE Tax Payer

• You can claim tax relief monthly through your salary or at the end of the year.
• Complete and return Revenue Commissioners form HK 1 and submit it to your Revenue Office during or after the year end.
• Your Tax Credits will be increased each week and month to ensure that you pay a reduced rate of tax or alternatively you will receive a tax rebate at year end to compensate you towards the fees paid to HomeCarer Trusted Independent Living.

Self Employed Tax Payer

• Complete and return Revenue Commissioners form HK 1 and submit it along with your annual return.

Low Income Tax Payer or Unemployed

• If you are currently not paying tax due to a low income then it is possible for an employed family member to claim the full tax relief.
• For example, if you have a family member (e.g. husband, wife, son, daughter or sibling) who pays tax at 40% then we can invoice them for the homecare services and they can avail of the maximum tax relief.
• We can discuss this option with you during a free home consultation.

A full guide to the process is available on the Revenue Commissioners website.
