10.2.16. For daycare expenses for children under 3 years of age.
Taxpayers may deduct 15% of the amounts paid in the tax period for the custody expenses of children under 3 years of age in nurseries or early childhood education centers, with a maximum of 250 euros for each child enrolled in said nurseries or centers.
The limit, in the tax period in which the child turns three years old, will be of 125 euros.
A nursery or early childhood education centre shall be understood to mean any centre authorised by the department responsible for education that is intended to provide care for children under three years of age.
Requirements
-
Only those descendants who entitle the applicant to the application of the minimum for descendants will be taken into account.
-
That the sum of the general taxable base and the savings taxable base is less than 35,000 euros in individual declarations and less than 50,000 euros in joint declarations, provided that the savings taxable base, whatever the type of declaration, does not exceed 4,000 euros.
When the children who qualify for this deduction live with more than one taxpayer, the amount of the deduction will be prorated equally. The following criteria must be taken into account when applying this requirement:
-
To determine whether the deduction should be prorated, only the child's cohabitation with more than one parent on the date the tax is due will be taken into account, except in the case of shared custody, in which it will be considered that there is cohabitation between the parents, even if the child is not actually living with one of them on the aforementioned date. In addition, the taxpayer must have paid the costs of daycare or early childhood education centers. However, in the case of amounts paid by married couples in community property and under the legal regime of the Aragonese marital consortium, the amount will be deemed to have been paid by both parents even if it is only paid by one of the spouses.
-
The sum of the deductions for childcare expenses for both parents cannot exceed the maximum amounts provided.
-
In the event of the death of the child during the year, it will be understood that cohabitation exists if the child is living together on the date of death.
-
If, while the parents were living together, one of them had died before 31 December, the deduction can be applied for the amounts paid up to the date of death that correspond to him/her, with a limit of 50% of the maximum amount of the corresponding deduction. The survivor will apply the deduction without being able to exceed, taking into account the amount applied in the declaration of the deceased father, the maximum established amount.
Completion
For each child under three years of age, you must indicate the amount paid by the tax holder. If the child turns three in the year, only the amounts paid up to that date will be deductible.
If the children only live with one of the parents or the expenses are covered by only one of them, check the box provided for this purpose.
If any of the children turns three in the year, they must indicate this by checking the corresponding box.
If the other parent has died during the year, you must indicate, in the corresponding box, the amounts applied that are deductible by the deceased parent.
