10.12.1. By birth or adoption of children

Taxpayers may deduct the following amounts for each child born or adopted in the tax period:

  1. 600 euros if it is the first.

  2. 750 euros if it is the second.

  3. 900 euros if it is the third or subsequent ones.

In the case of multiple births or adoptions, the above amounts will be increased by 600 euros for each child.

To determine the order number of the born or adopted child, the children who live with the taxpayer on the date of accrual of the tax will be taken into account, counting both natural and adopted children.

Requirements:

  • Only parents who live with their born or adopted children will be entitled to the deduction. When children born or adopted live with both parents, the amount of the deduction will be prorated equally in the declaration of each of them, if they opt for individual taxation.

  • The sum of the general tax base and the savings must not exceed 25,620 euros in individual taxation and 36,200 euros in the case of joint taxation. This limit, as well as the amount of the deduction, are applied and controlled by the program.

Otherwise, the information will be reflected in box "Of the Owner" , also indicating whether the children live with both parents or adopters.
