Procedure details

The previous childcare allowance has been replaced by the "allowance for childcare and education or training needs" of up to EUR 2,928.

This allowance is only deducted from income tax if the childcare needs have not already been exempted from tax through child benefit. The tax reduction is offset against the child benefit.

You can find more detailed explanations of the tax-free allowance for childcare and education or training needs in the brochure ''Tax tips for families'', which is available from the tax offices or can be requested from the Bavarian State Ministry of Finance and Home Affairs, Public Relations Department. The brochure is also available on the website of the Bavarian State Ministry of Finance and Home Affairs (see "Related links").

When submitting the income tax return, the ''Anlage Kind'' must be completed and attached to the tax return.

You do not need to submit an application. The tax office will check the requirements itself as part of the annual income tax assessment.
