In case a) of the deduction for child care (per household employee) the base will be made up of the amounts paid to the household employee.

However, if public subsidies have been received for this purpose, the total amount of the deduction plus the amount of said subsidies may not exceed the actual expenditure, in which case the maximum amount of the deduction will be reduced by the necessary amount. If the sum does not exceed the expenditure, the subsidy should not be subtracted.

However, in the event that the taxpayer is entitled to the increase in the state deduction for maternity referred to in article 81.2 of the Tax Law the amount of the same will reduce the of this deduction determined in accordance with the previous points. In this case, the limit of 1,320 euros will be reduced by the amount to which the taxpayer is entitled by the state deduction.

- - 31,500 euros in joint taxation.
When more than one taxpayer is entitled to apply this deduction with respect to the same descendants, the amount of the sums paid will be prorated among them in equal parts, respecting, in all cases, the maximum limit of the deduction .
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 or in nursery schools, child care centers and daycare centers.

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.

For these purposes, the calculation to reduce the maximum amount of the deduction by the necessary amount is carried out independently for each of the children if they come from different parents.
