Parents who are entitled to childcare allowance can apply for their allowance for 2012 with retroactive effect, if they have missed it earlier. This must be done before September 1. This rule offers a solution to parents who missed out on childcare allowance for 2012 because they applied for it too late.
Childcare allowance is an income-related contribution towards the costs of childcare. Parents are entitled to this allowance if they work or follow a course, a trajectory to work or an integration course at a certified institution. In addition to the aforementioned, a second condition is that their child goes to a registered childcare facility. The childcare allowance can be applied for retroactively for 2012. The deadline for this is September 1, 2013. Parents who applied for their allowance for 2012 too late last year will still have the opportunity to receive the allowance.
How much childcare allowance parents receive depends on a number of aspects. Such as, for example, their income, the number of their children that go to childcare and the number of hours for which parents are entitled to childcare. You can apply for childcare allowance and other allowances via www.toeslagen.nl, a website of the Tax Authorities.
