Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 July 2022
453. Deputy Pádraig O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Finance if consideration will be given to increasing the tax credits available to family carers in Budget 2023; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41897/22]
View answerThe Government remains fully commitment to supporting and protecting those most vulnerable in society through both tax and expenditure measures. The Irish tax system contains a number of provisions including the Home Carer Tax Credit, Incapacitated Child Tax Credit and the Dependent Relative Tax Credit amongst others which have been introduced to provide additional supports to family carers.
The Deputy will be aware that tax expenditures and incentives are reviewed as part of the annual Budget process. However, it is a long-standing practice of the Minister for Finance not to comment in advance of the Budget on any tax matters that might be the subject of Budget decisions.
