Title: What tax cut for a child in school?

If your tax residence is in France, you can benefit from a tax reduction for each of your school children. The amount depends on your family situation and the level of education of your children.

Amount of the tax reduction depending on your situation

1/ Common or main custody (or child attached:

• College student: 61 €
• High school student: 153 €
• Student: 183 €

2/ Alternate custody

• Middle-school student: 30,50 €
• High school student: €76.50
• Student: 91,50 €

Example:

For a family of 3 children including 1 secondary school student in alternate care, 1 middle school student in primary care and 1 student attached to the tax shelter, the tax reduction is €320.50 (61 + 76.50 + 183).

The 3 conditions to be fulfilled by your child in school:

• It's your dependant and part of your tax household
• He is in school as of December 31 of the tax year (for example, as of December 31, 2022 for the 2023 return)
• He is not paid for his training (e.g. apprenticeship).

In practice: On your tax return, indicate the number of children involved at each level of education.
