You cannot claim the Standard Rate Cut-Off Point for dual income couples and the Home Carer Tax Credit. Your local tax office will help you to determine which is better for you.

What does that mean?

The homecarers credit is a straight €1,200 off your taxes.
The increased standard rate cut off point is an extra 24 k at 20%.
So,after a certain 2nd income level,it's better to forgo the tax credit and take the increased tax band instead.

Homecarer credit won't apply no dependent people in the household.
