Childcare is a valuable investment in your child’s development, and it is supported by tax relief. Depending on their personal situation, parents have two clearly defined legal options<\/strong> for claiming childcare costs against tax. <\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

1. deduct childcare costs as special expenses<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

(\u00a7 10 Abs. 1 Nr. 5 EStG)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parents can claim the costs of childcare for their child against tax:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Up to \u20ac6,000 per year<\/strong> can be taken into account<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Of this, 80 %<\/strong> is tax-deductible<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Maximum \u20ac 4,800 per year <\/strong>since 2025<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Example:<\/strong>With a high personal tax rate (top tax rate), this results in tax savings of up to \u20ac2,160 per year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This option is available to all parents, regardless of their employer, and is taken into account in their income tax return.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n\t\t\t\n\n

    2. Employer subsidy for childcare: tax-free & unlimited<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    (\u00a7<\/em> 3 No. 33 EStG)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In addition – and particularly attractive – employers can provide financial support for childcare:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Tax and social security free<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • No legal upper limit<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Applies to children who are not of school age<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The subsidy may only be paid in the amount of the actual childcare costs<\/strong> <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Prerequisite: The benefit is granted in addition to the wages owed anyway<\/strong> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      The grant can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • paid directly to the childcare facility or<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • be paid to the parents as a tax-free payment via the pay slip<\/strong> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Example:<\/strong>With monthly childcare costs of \u20ac1,596<\/strong> ( \u20ac19,152<\/strong> per year), this amount can be paid in full tax-free by the employer.For parents with a high tax rate, this corresponds to an annual financial relief of around \u20ac15,670<\/strong>, i.e. around \u20ac1,306 per month<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

        On request, we will be happy to provide you with suitable proof of costs and payments<\/strong> that you need for your tax return or for your employer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1581,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2567","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nTax support -
