Q: If my former husband has already claimed child relief for our child, am I still eligible to claim child relief for the same child?
A: Yes, you are still eligible to claim child relief for the same child. However, the child relief cannot be claimed in full by more than one individual. Where there are two individuals entitled to claim the relief for the same child, the relief is restricted to 50% each.
Wishing you plentiful tax savings!
