The money coming into your household might include salary, a pension and social welfare. The SPCCC tax credit is worth €1,650 per year and will reduce the amount of tax you pay by €31.73 per week. Furthermore, the stay-at-home spouse or partner could earn up to €7,200 a year and still qualify for the full tax credit. Those whose only source of income is social welfare should get in touch with their local Citizens Information centre to check they’re getting all the social welfare they’re entitled to and that they’re on the most beneficial social welfare payments for someone in their circumstances. You don’t have to be out of work to get social welfare.
