By Tuesday, 30 June, a child allowance of EUR 150 is expected for each dependent child. The total amount each beneficiary will receive therefore depends on the number of children, which means that one-off financial aid can reach EUR 300, 450 or more.
As planned, the aid shall be paid by 30 June 2026, directly to the beneficiary’s bank account, as notified to the Independent Public Revenue Authority (APA), based on the data of last year’s income tax declaration (for the tax year 2024) as it has been formed or modified by 29 May 2026 which was the last working day of May.
How many are covered by child allowance
The calculation and payment of the aid does not require the beneficiary to submit an application. However, especially for those who have made or will make up to 31 July 2026 a declaration of change of physical data to the Register of the AADE, due to the addition of a new dependent child following the submission of a tax return declaration for the year 2024, the aid (or any additional amount for the additional child which they acquired and declared to the AAED) may be paid up to 31 August 2026, based on all income limits corresponding to each type of household.
It is stressed that the aid covers around 80% of households with dependent children. On the basis of the income declared in 2025 (for tax year 2024), the limits shall be as follows:
- Married persons or part of a symbiosis pact: To EUR 40,000, increased by EUR 5,000 for each additional dependent child beyond the first.
- Single-parent families: Up to EUR 39,000, increased by EUR 5,000 for each additional dependent child beyond the first.
One of the most important facilities of the measure is that no specific application is required on any platform. The credit will be made directly to the bank account (IBAN) declared by the taxpayer in the application of the AADE. Payment is planned to be completed by 30 June 2026.
For young children
Specific provision for young children: For those who acquire or declare a new dependent child on the ADE Registry by 31 July 2026, the aid (or additional amount) will be paid by 31 August 2026.
It is noted that the method of payment depends on the parents' tax return:
- Common tax declaration: All aid shall be paid to the person responsible for the declaration (to the spouse or to the part of the symbiosis pact).
- Separate tax returns: The allowance for ordinary children is shared «two» (50-50) to both parents. If they are non-common children, they are paid to the parent who declares them dependent.
