hi all.can anyone help please,can i get tax relief when im paying child support?
Hi HGM,
I was about to respond and say "no I don't think so".... having quickly googled it... https://www.gov.uk/income-tax-reliefs/maintenance-payments-tax-relief
Unless you were born before April 6th 1935, you are not liable for tax relief on maintenance payments.
I was briefly very interested in being able to recoup 10% of my maintenance, unfortunately I'm not 79/80 years old +
All the best,
BD
If you can pay any costs by childcare vouchers (and your employer operates this scheme), and your ex agrees to this, then that gives you tax relief I believe, as it's done by salary sacrifice. It can affect tax credits and benefits though.
