Revenue e-brief No 18/14 released yesterday has some fairly significant implications for anyone who avails of the €15K childcare services relief. People who avail of this relief are now regarded as chargeable persons for self-assessment purposes.[broken link removed]
I don't t hink that they have PAYE in America though? It's all self assessment.

"... but it is understood that they will now be obliged to fill in a 26-page tax return form for the first time"
I think the outage will come from the grandparents who will have to full out the form for minding their grand kids for a weekly payment.
I do agree with returns for those costuming the 15k exception, its just too much money changing hands to be disregarded.
Bringing it into line with the rent a room scheme.
If you want a regulated childcare system, someone has to grapple with the fact in Ireland the vast majority of children are minded in uninspected, unregulated, uninsured, unvetted environments. We are probably the last country in the western world that has such loose regulation on family day care.
So are all 10 year old schoolchildren who do a bit of childminding for pocket money going to have to register?
IMO the e-brief is more to do with stopping people who are on the dole/sick from also minding children and availing of the tax-exempt status at the same time as opposed to trying to regulate the childcare sector.
You'll still get people doing both but some may stop and the chargeable person status now means that there is an effective method to punish those who are caught. Previously it would have been the acceptance of social welfare while working was the "crime" but now the non-submission of returns etc carries more punitive punishments.
