The State Duma deputy and member of the Budget and Tax Committee, Nikita Chaplin, outlined the forthcoming changes to standard child deductions that will begin on January 1, 2025. In an interview with RT, Chaplin shared a detailed look at how these rules will reshape the way families receive tax relief.
According to the deputy, the upcoming amendments will have a meaningful impact on both the size of the deduction and the process by which families access relief. The reforms aim to streamline eligibility and speed up the payout, while also adjusting the mechanics to accommodate larger deduction amounts where applicable.
Under the new framework, the deduction for the second child will rise from 1,400 rubles to 2,800 rubles per month, resulting in a noticeable reduction in monthly tax obligations for families with two children. For families with three or more children, the monthly deduction will increase from 3,000 rubles to 6,000 rubles, translating into a monthly tax saving of about 780 rubles for each qualifying family. The deduction for the first child will remain unchanged at 1,400 rubles per month, according to Chaplin.
Additionally, the deduction for disabled children will see an increase of 6,000 rubles for guardians, providing greater support for families managing higher support needs. The reforms also adjust the annual income threshold for which deductions can be claimed, raising the limit from 350,000 rubles to 450,000 rubles per year starting in 2025. This means a broader base of families may qualify for relief without losing the benefit for higher earners within the eligible range.
Another notable change is that if an employer already possesses the necessary data about the children, the employer can facilitate the deduction automatically, eliminating the need for a separate application. Chaplin noted that if the deduction is not processed through the employer, it is still possible to reclaim a portion of the personal income tax through the Federal Tax Service by filing a tax return within three years. This grants taxpayers flexibility in how they access relief and ensures that eligible families are not left without support due to administrative gaps.
In related context, discussions around tax withholding and personal contributions continue to influence how households plan for raising children. The overall intent behind these adjustments is to provide more predictable and transparent support to families while simplifying the administrative steps required to receive it, thereby reducing friction in the tax relief process for the average taxpayer.
