Dependent relative tax allowance

[fitzse11]

My son has gone into full time third level education (he is 30 years old). He is not allowed any state benefits as he is living at home. Can I get dependent relative tax credit for supporting him or should I just tell him to leave and claim all the state benefits away from the family home?

The requirements for Dependent relative tax credit are here . Your son would not appear to meet the criteria for you to claim that credit.

As regards the other issue of him leaving, I'm afraid I cannot help.
