LC 5: Meaning of engaged in full-time work
or “Definition of full-time work removed from tax law”
You could also call this:

“Tax credits for housekeeping expenses were removed in 2012”

You used to be able to get tax credits for housekeeping. This means the government would give you money back on your taxes for certain housekeeping expenses. However, this is no longer the case. The government removed this tax credit on 29 May 2012. This change affects your taxes from the 2012-13 tax year onwards. The government made this change as part of the Taxation (Budget Measures) Act 2012.
