Implementation of the new policy begins: Those with children under 18 will be taxed less by the state
2026-01-06 18:12:25 / EKONOMI&SOCIALE
For the first time, starting this year, one of the parents with children under 18 will automatically have 48 thousand lek deducted from the taxable base when completing the Personal Income Declaration. The latter has already been published by the General Directorate of Taxes.
"It is a value that we have calculated for 500 thousand children according to the last Census and that their parents can benefit from. The one who has the highest income and if we were to do it for all 500 thousand children, I believe it could reach... these are preliminary values, but it could reach up to 20 million euros," emphasized the General Director of the DPT, Ilir Binaj, reports A2 CNN.
If his or her gross monthly salary during 2025 was 150 thousand lek, consequently with an annual income of 1 million and 800 thousand lek, deducting 30 thousand lek each month as the non-taxable part, the obligation for 12 months is calculated at 187 thousand and 200 lek. But by also deducting the amount of 48 thousand lek per year for the child in care, the annual tax drops to 180 thousand and 960 lek. So, this employed individual will pay 6 thousand and 240 lek less tax, which consequently translates into more money in their pockets.
"This is a way that is done in many countries. I have seen it in America. It is a way that you will in some way help families with many children, since the financial situation of many families is different from the other and definitely those with more dependent children should have more help," said the General Director of the DPT, Ilir Binaj.
The same logic applies to families with two children under 18. The annual deductible expenses in this case are calculated at 96 thousand lekë. So, a parent with the same salary, 150 thousand lekë per month, will pay annual tax in the amount of 174 thousand and 720 lekë, 12 thousand and 480 lekë less than what would be received if he did not have minor children in care.
Also, starting this year, for parents with an annual income of no more than 1 million 200 thousand lek per year, deductible expenses for children's education will also be applied at a maximum of 100 thousand lek. So, the parent will not pay 109 thousand 200 lek in tax per year, but 89 thousand 960, thus saving 19 thousand 240 per year. /A2
