My spouse is a homemaker and is looking after our children. Can we get relief?  

Yes, you can claim the Home Carer Tax Credit when your spouse is looking after your children, and you are jointly assessed for tax.

To claim the Home Carer Tax Credit, you must care for a dependent who is:

• A child for whom child benefits are payable
• A person aged 65 years or over
• A permanently incapacitated person due to a mental or physical disability
