    Hi,
    My partner and I have a child, living together, we're not married, both work. Can we claim any additional tax credits?

    Nope.
    Only ways kids can be a benefit tax credit wise are if you are single (e.g. Not married or cohabiting) you could be entitled to the single person child care credit.
    If you are married and one spouse has little to no income you could claim the home carers tax credit on behalf of your kids.
    There is maybe one credit you could claim, the incapacitated child care credit, but your child would have to be permanently incapacitated.

    You could claim tax relief on any medical expenses you've paid for your children going back to 2015, however.

    nothing for married couples, so rightly nothing for couples living together.
