Form 100. Personal Income Tax Return 2021

10.8.17. For the care of minor children

Taxpayers who, for work reasons, whether self-employed or employed, have to leave their minor children in the care of a domestic employee or in nurseries or child care centers, may choose to deduct one of the following amounts:

  • 30% of the amounts paid in the tax period to the household employee, with the maximum limit of 322 euros in individual taxation as well as in joint taxation.

  • 100% of the pre-registration and enrollment fees paid, as well as the costs of attendance during general and extended hours and food expenses, provided they have occurred for full months, in Schools, Centers and Child Care Centers of the Community of Castilla y León, registered in the Registry of Centers for the reconciliation of family and work life, with a maximum limit of 1,320 euros in individual and joint taxation.

    When the taxpayer is entitled to an increase in the state deduction for childcare expenses in authorized nurseries or early childhood education centers, the amount of the deduction will reduce the amount determined in accordance with the previous paragraph. In this case, the limit of 1,320 euros will be reduced by the amount to which the taxpayer is entitled through the state deduction.

    The provisions of this last paragraph will not apply to taxpayers who died before February 26, 2021.

Requirements and conditions

  1. That on the date the tax becomes due, the children to whom the "minimum for descendants" applies are under 4 years of age.

  2. That both parents carry out an activity on their own or as an employee, for which they are registered in the corresponding Social Security or Mutual Insurance scheme. The deduction will be applied exclusively to amounts paid during the period in which both spouses are self-employed or employed.

  4. That the total taxable base reduced by the personal and family minimum does not exceed the amount of 18,900 euros in individual taxation and 31,500 euros in the case of joint taxation. This requirement will be controlled by the program.

  5. When more than one taxpayer is entitled to apply this deduction in respect of the same descendants, its amount will be prorated among them in equal parts.

  6. The total amount of the deduction applied by both parents, plus the amount, where applicable, of the increase in the state deduction for maternity, plus the amount of public aid received for this concept may not exceed, for the same year, the total amount of the actual expenditure of the same.

    If the amount of all the deductions and public aid mentioned exceeds the expenses paid by the nursery, the maximum amount of the deduction will be reduced by the necessary amount.

    The provisions of this letter will not apply to taxpayers who died before February 26, 2021.

Outstanding balances to be applied
