Introduction
Everybody is entitled to a basic personal tax credit. The amount of your tax credit depends on your personal status i.e. Married, Single, Widowed or One Parent Family. We explain below under each heading the conditions for the relevant tax credit.
In addition, PAYE earners are entitled to a PAYE tax credit. This credit is not allowed to shareholder/directors who own more than 15% of the company. (Instead, the earned income credit may apply).
