WSB tax tip: The new KITA year starts soon - How you can sponsor childcare for your employees

Make life easier for young parents!

🧒 As an employer, you can pay your employees subsidies for crèches, kindergartens and childminders - free of tax and social security contributions!

🏠 The exemption applies to the costs of accommodation, care and meals for the children. Tuition and travel costs are not eligible.

👶 It is important that the allowances are paid in addition to the salary owed anyway. The tax office does not recognize salary conversion.

📊 There is no upper limit, the grants may only not be higher than the actual costs incurred.

📌 In order for the tax office to play along, the payments must be shown separately in the payroll account and marked as childcare costs.

📄 And support staff should provide you with an annual overview of their childcare costs for your records.

👉 Do you still have questions about tax-free KITA allowances? We optimize your income tax and tax burden for you and your employees. Please feel free to contact us: www.wsb-berater.com/kontakt
