Eltern lassen jedes Jahr 2000€ beim Finanzamt liegen

Added: 2026-05-26

In Germany, parents can deduct up to 6,000€ per child for childcare costs, with 80% (4,800€) being tax-deductible as special expenses, compared to the previous limit of 4,000€; eligibility requires the child to be under 14 years old (or under 25 if disabled), to be the parent's own or foster child, and to belong to the household, with higher tax rates resulting in greater tax savings.
