Foster carers benefit from special tax treatment through Qualifying Care Relief (QCR)
Qualifying Care Relief is a special tax relief for foster carers that provides generous tax-free allowances. This means most foster carers pay little or no tax on their fostering income.
Most foster carers use the simplified method where all fostering income and expenses are automatically covered by QCR allowances. No need to track individual expenses!
If your actual expenses exceed the QCR allowances, you can claim actual expenses instead. We help you determine which method saves you the most tax.
