Incapacitated Child Tax Credit: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how parents can claim tax relief if they are caring for a child with a permanent physical or mental disability.
This tax credit is designed to help parents manage the costs of caring for a child living with a long-term disability.
Who it's for
This credit is available to parents who have a child living with a physical or mental disability that is considered permanent.
What you get
You can receive a tax credit of up to €3,300 for each qualifying child. This reduces the amount of tax you owe, leaving more money available for your household.
What it costs you
There is no fee to apply, but you must provide official medical evidence that proves the child's incapacity is permanent.
The catch to know
The authorities use a very strict interpretation of what counts as "permanent." You must be able to demonstrate that the condition is not expected to improve.
How to apply
- Gather medical documentation regarding the child's condition.
- Ensure you have the necessary details to prove the disability is long-term.
- Submit your claim through the official tax portal.
