Single-parent families

It is essential to clarify for single people with eligible children whether s/he is a member of a so-called ‘single-parent family’. This is generally the case if a single person lives in the same household with children entitled to deduction.

If it is a single-parent family by definition, more favorable rate codes can be assigned to the employee, namely ‘H1 - 9’, ‘P1 - 9’ or ‘U1 - 9’.

Note that you must select one of the default values in the ‘Single-parent family' field under the ‘Private’ tab in the Personnel card.

We have also created a tool in our FAQ Income Tax Definition FAQ Single-parent families for you to find out whether or not the family is a single-parent family.

NOTE

Please note that when you select a rate code, you declare to the tax administration that you got the necessary clarifications. Again, we recommend to work with the checklist.
