Deeds of Covenant
Covenants that qualify for relief
Covenants to certain individuals qualify for tax relief. You can claim relief on covenants to:
- One or more adults aged 65 or over. The relief you receive is restricted to 5% of your total income.
- Permanently incapacitated minors. A minor is a person under 18 years of age who is not married or in a civil partnership. You cannot claim tax relief on covenant payments you make to your own incapacitated child.
- Permanently incapacitated adults.
A Deed of Covenant must last for more than six years to qualify for tax relief. We recommend that you make a covenant that lasts for a minimum of seven years.
