If you are making the maintenance/child support payments
You are not allowed tax relief on voluntary payments you make to a child, former spouse or former civil partner.
You may be allowed some tax relief on payments which you are making if:- the payments can be enforced through the courts; and
- one or both of the spouses or civil partners was born before 6 April 1935.
If you receive maintenance or child support payments, you don't have to pay tax on payments received on or after 6 April 2000.
This is under the section that excludes self-employed people.working on clearing the clutterDo I want the stuff or the space?0 -
