Tax break for time off work regarding taking care of familly member

[l_winsor]

If my wife's mother get's out of hospital and requires home care, is there a tax break or concession for her time off work.

If you are asking about your wife being off work, her mother would have to be a dependant to be able to claim caregiver credits.  If her mother normally lives in a residence of her own, she would not qualify as a dependant. Your wife may be eligible for EI for family care.
