Child relief

In the tax return for 2023, the taxpayer may deduct:

• PLN 92.67 per month (i.e. up to PLN 1,112.04 per year) for a pro-family allowance for raising one child who meets the conditions of the allowance, assuming that the taxpayer's income, after deducting social security contributions, does not exceed PLN 112,000 in total, and for a non-married person, including for part of the tax year, does not exceed the amount of PLN 56,000 in the tax year.
• PLN 92.67 per month (i.e. up to PLN 1,112.04 per year) for the second child.
• PLN 166.67 per month (i.e. up to PLN 2,000.04 per year) for the third child.
• PLN 225.00 a month (i.e. up to PLN 2,700.00 per year) for raising the fourth and subsequent child.

If a child was in the taxpayers’ custody only for a period of time during the taxable period, the allowance is proportionally lowered.

The annual income limit for an adult, studying child, beyond which the parent loses the possibility of deducting the child allowance amounts to PLN 19,061.28, i.e. 12 times the social pension value for 2022 (this amount will be variable every year, depending on the amount of social pension set for a given year).
