LC 9: Tax credits for absentees

You could also call this:

“Tax credits are no longer denied to people living overseas”

You can’t get tax credits if you’re an absentee. This rule used to be in the law, but it was taken out on 29 May 2012. This means it doesn’t apply anymore for the 2012-13 tax year and any years after that.
