Childminder tax relief scheme

    I am a stay at home mam, thinking of starting to child mind in my own home. At the moment my husband has my tax credits as I haven't been working for the past couple of years.

    If I start childminding, will the tax credits my husband has belonging to me be affected? I know you can earn up to €15k before having to pay tax on childminding. I would be earning well below this. As far as I know you just need to contact your local revenue office and register with them.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, I was wondering if you ever got an answer to your questions? My wife is starting childminding at home, we are jointly assessment for tax and I'm not sure if I will still get her 'Personal Tax Credit'. It's €1650 and if I can't still get this there's little point in her doing it because her income as part time will be very low (about €2400/yr). Thanks.

    Can earn up to 15,000 per year tax free but you must file a yearly return
