Single taxpayers with at least one child can claim a tax-reducing amount of € 4,008 as part of their income tax assessment.

The relief amount increases by €240 for each child starting with the 2nd child.

								    

									    Requirements
The taxpayer must be single and not married/partnered and must not form a household with another person of legal age. The household must include at least one child who is entitled to a child allowance.
