Family Allowance<\/h1>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

To make bringing up a family more affordable FIG provides a tax free Family Allowance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family Allowance is paid monthly for a child up to the age of 16 years or until the end of the academic year in which a child turns 16 years, whichever is the later. To qualify for payment of family allowance the claimant must hold Falkland Islands Status or PRP or the child must have Falkland Islands Status or a parent\/child have been ordinarily resident in the Falkland Islands for not less than three years immediately before payment of the allowance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
