Child-Related Budget (KGB) is reclaimed in cases of increased income or changes in family circumstances. The Tax and Customs Administration calculates this retrospectively based on tax returns. If your income exceeds the threshold (€35,000 for single parents with children), repayment will be required. Reasons may include: promotion, inheritance, or a second income.
Procedure: You will receive a provisional assessment; payment must be made within eight weeks, or you can arrange an installment plan.
Rights: You may lodge an objection if the calculation is incorrect, using payslips as evidence. Families with multiple children receive a higher allowance.
Tips: File your tax return on time and request a provisional refund. Avoid stress by reporting changes monthly. This article helps families retain their budget.
