answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/07/2022 answer text <p>Qualifying Care Relief (QCR) is a tax relief available to support foster carers, in addition to some other carers. QCR was first introduced as Foster Care Relief in 2003-04. This allowance is £10,000 per household per year, plus £250 per week per adult or child aged 11 or over (£200 for a child under 11).</p><p> </p><p>It is important to consider that the QCR operates in addition to other reliefs and allowances. Foster carers are also entitled to the Personal Allowance, which may be available to cover any foster care income above the QCR allowance. The Government has increased the Personal Allowance (PA) by over 40 per cent in real terms since 2010, ensuring some of the lowest earners do not pay income tax. The PA is the highest basic personal tax allowance of all countries in the G20, and it remains one of the most generous internationally.</p><p> </p><p>The Government keeps all aspects of the tax system under review.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 15/07/2022 13:28:27 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
