BMF welcomes the key points for child day care - an important milestone in better child support in Germany
The day care has a share of 30 percent is a key pillar of the agreement with federal, state and local governments, by the year 2013 for nationwide average of 35 percent of children under three years of age hold. Therefore, day care for children must ultimately be combined with a systematic tax and social security treatment for a recognized and adequately remunerated profession.
The Federal Ministry of Finance welcomes the agreed points of the federal-state working group, which has dealt with tax and social security issues of the day care. In these corners, a solution to the issue of taxation and social insurance of childminders found:
becomes law lays down that halves refund triggered by the publicly funded day-care patients and nursing care contributions through the support of public youth services at the day care people
this refund in income tax law (Income Tax Act) provided tax-free.
It is mandated by law to exercise during the expansion phase of self-employed persons at a day care service for up to five children, no full-time self-employment. As a result, the health and care insurance contributions calculated through voluntary participation in the statutory health insurance based on a minimum tax basis of currently 828 € [Glossary] (instead of € 1863 for full-time self-employed).
possibility of non-contributory family coverage when spouses remain open until a total income consists of current 355Euro/Monat.
Background: Previously treated
payments of youth services and communities in day care person as a tax-free aid. This application has particular in cases of mixed financing (tax-free portion of the youth office, parents share tax) led to increased inconclusive and therefore is not for a long time practicable.
Therefore, these from the assessment period no longer than 2009 tax-free aid classified, but are taxable by minders as income from self-employment. The simultaneous increase in operating expense allowance of 246 € to 300 € per child per month often leads to no or relatively low taxable income.
interactions between control [Glossary] - and social security law have led to criticism of the new rules. If the income from the activity as a separate day care person € 355, eliminates the possibility of a non-contributory co-insurance and day care person has volunteered in a public health insurance or private insurance.
The relatively low income day care people have in many cases have resulted that would have qualified for the assessable income a (fictional) minimum tax base and not the actual (lower) income to bear. The resulting health insurance contributions by many people as day care - based on actual income - perceived to be high.
