What is maintaining a dependant?
You maintained a dependant if any of the following applied:
you and your dependant lived in the same house
you gave your dependant food, clothing and lodging
you helped them to pay for their living, medical and educational costs.
If you had a spouse for the whole of 2012-13 and your spouse worked at any time during the year, we still consider you to have maintained your spouse as a dependant for the whole income year.
We consider you to have maintained a dependant even if the two of you were temporarily separated, for example, due to holidays or overseas travel.
If you maintained a dependant for only part of the year, you may need to adjust your claim accordingly.
我又看了一下,按那三个条件来说,即便人在海外,我也可以说是maintaining a dependent的。。。吧?
