When reading the 2006 General Income Tax Benefit guide and trying to figure out whether I am eligible to claim the amount under line 305 : Amount for an eligible dependent, I find the explanation hard to understand.
Can anyone here who is doing there taxes explain, if this amount can be claimed by the head of the house hold if he has a child under 18 years old and has a spouse who did not any income for the year.

Short Answer - No.
Eligible dependents is for single parents where they claim their children as 'Eqivalent for Spouse', ie the spousal amount.
