Application of the personal allowance for descendants for adult children who cohabit or receive child support

A mother inquires whether she can apply the personal allowance for descendants for her two adult daughters who are employed. The DGT responds that she may apply it if they cohabit with her and meet the income and tax return thresholds.

The question raised

Question posed - Whether she can apply the personal allowance for descendants for her daughters.

The DGT's ruling

The parent with custody may apply the personal allowance for descendants if the children cohabit with them and do not exceed 8,000 euros in annual income (excluding exempt income). Furthermore, the descendants must not file an income tax return with income exceeding 1,800 euros. Parents who do not cohabit but pay child support by judicial resolution may choose between the personal allowance for descendants or the treatment of child support annuities. If the allowance is chosen, it shall be prorated in equal parts between the parents.
