Tax Returns - can I claim for Daughter?

[Don_08]

Just completing Tax Return for 2007. Can I claim for GP visits for my daughter? I still use my maiden name for work/tax purposes, so she does have a different surname to me.

I know I don't have to provide the receipts - but I like to have it all there just in case I get an audit.

You may claim tax relief on certain unreimbursed medical expenses incurred by you for yourself and/or your qualifying dependants

Oddly enough the following is much broader!

You can claim Medical Expenses incurred by you:

• On your own behalf
• On behalf of a dependant. (A dependant is any relative of yours or any other person who at any time during the year of claim is aged 65 years or over or who is permanently incapacitated by reason of mental or physical infirmity.)
• On behalf of a relative. A relative is defined as:
  • Husband, wife, ancestor, lineal descendant, brother or sister
  • Mother or father of your spouse
  • Brother or sister of your spouse
  • Spouse of your son or daughter
  • Your child, Any other child, who in the year of the claim, is in your custody and maintained at your expense and under 18 years of age, or if over 18 years of age, is receiving full-time education.
