Divorce settlement

Tax planning 236 views 2 replies

Can I claim deductions for amounts paid to -

1) Ex-wife for a court mediated divorce settlement; and

2) Minor child for his living expenses (who will stay with the ex-wife)

If so, can you advise which section of ITA will apply and the amount(s) that can be deducted / claimed.

Thanks

I dont think such expenses are allowed as deduction....its not incurred for earning any income....

It will be treated as application of income

Both the payments are not deductible under Income Tax Act
