mothers at home

midnightrunner

Some time back someone told me that mothers who stayed at home whilst their children were at school  could claim tax rebates for the time spent at home. Is this true and how do I go about claiming any rebates ?

I suspect they may be thinking of national insurance credits or working tax credits (if eligible) rather than rebates.

I suggest you ask that person  as  tax rebates can only be made of tax paid and if you are not paying tax you cannot be due any tax back.

If you aren't using your tax allowance you can transfer some to your husband to reduce his tax.
