All benefits and rights provided are aimed at supporting families and creating comfortable conditions for raising children. “Responsible parents should be aware of their opportunities to make the most of the support measures provided by the state,” Chaplin stressed.
Income tax deduction
According to the MP, both parents can benefit from a standard deduction on personal income tax. “This allows both mum and dad to reduce their tax obligations when they are officially employed and pay taxes,” said Chaplin. “It is important to note that even in the event of a divorce, both parents can claim this deduction. From 2025, new limits are planned, which will increase the possibilities of saving. One parent can also transfer the right to deduct to the other.”
Deduction for treatment
The second is a deduction for the treatment of children. “Parents can spread out the expenses for the treatment of their children, allowing each of them to claim a portion of the deduction within their limits,” the MP noted. “This allows a large amount of tax to be refunded, especially if the expenses exceed the maximum limits or if one of the parents’ salaries do not cover the full-use deduction.”
Vacations and sick leave
The third nuance concerns sick leave and parental leave. If several children are sick at the same time, both parents have the right to grant sick leave to different children, the MP explained. According to him, the same rule applies to parental leave of up to one and a half years, especially in the case of twin births: both parents can apply for leave and receive benefits at the same time.
“Another important point is the flexibility of the leave. If there are three or more minor children and the youngest has not yet turned 14, the parents can take the leave at a time that suits them, despite the established schedules,” said Chaplin.
Parents may also refuse to work overtime, at night, on weekends and on business trips if they have: a child with a disability or three or more minor children, the youngest being under 14 years old.
Property deductions
It is also worthwhile to be clear about your rights regarding tax deductions on property and land. “Parents raising three or more minors can take advantage of tax deductions to reduce the tax base by the following amount: 6 acres of land per plot and 5 square meters per apartment or 7 square meters per house. child,” the deputy explained.
