Social:Dependant
From HandWiki
Short description: Person who relies on another as a primary source of income
A dependant (US spelling: dependent) is a person who relies on another as a primary source of income. A common-law spouse who is financially supported by their partner may also be included in this definition.[1] In some jurisdictions, supporting a dependant may enable the provider to claim a tax deduction.
In the United Kingdom, a full-time student in higher education who financially supports another adult may qualify for an Adult Dependant's Grant.[2]
Taxation
In the US, a taxpayer may claim exemptions for their dependants.[3]
