What about childcare allowance?
If you combine caring for your child(ren) with work, study or an integration programme, you are usually entitled to childcare allowance. The amount of the childcare allowance depends on your family situation and the aggregate income of you and your partner (if applicable). Check the website of the Tax Administration to find out whether you are entitled to childcare allowance. Are you entitled to this? Then you can apply for childcare allowance via this website.
Note: apply for the childcare allowance within 3 months after the childcare has started, to avoid missing out on childcare allowance. Has your income, family situation or the location or hourly rate of the childcare changed? Please report this change to the Tax Administration as soon as possible.
