I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that based on the most up to date data it is estimated that up to 15,400 individuals may be affected by the restriction of the restructured credit to the principal carer. However, ultimately it will depend on the circumstances of each individual carer and the allocation of childcare responsibilities, which is primarily for parents to agree.
