For the first time next year, a tax deduction will be applied to taxpayers with dependent children under 18. One of the parents who have children under 18 will have 48 thousand lek deducted from the tax paid on their salary during this year when they complete their Individual Personal Income Tax Return in March 2026.

So, for each child under 18 years of age, a discount of 48 thousand lek will be provided.

"In 2026, the policy of deducting the amount of 48 thousand lek for each child under the age of 18 will be implemented for the first time. Based on the calculations, it results that the tax administration will compensate about 1.5 billion lek," the report states.

For the coming year, the cost of this discount is estimated at 1.5 billion lek or 15 million euros. An estimate shows that this discount is planned to be given to 31,250 children.

Also, from 2026, parents with an annual income of no more than 1.2 million lek per year will also benefit from a deduction for their children's education expenses of up to 100 thousand lek.

So, if you earn less than 100,000 lek (1,000 euros) per month, you can benefit from up to 100,000 lek tax deductions through the receipts you have saved for your child's education expenses. You will also receive this deduction after completing the DIVA next year.
