Adjusted for income tax reduction for single-married parents “for child support allowance recipients” November 23, 4:18
The government and the ruling party will reduce the income tax for parents who are receiving child-rearing allowances from the perspective of child poverty countermeasures. I entered the adjustment in the direction of taking.
The next year's tax reform will require the Komeito Party to apply measures to reduce income tax on unmarried single parents as well as single parents who died or divorced from their spouse.
In this regard, the government and the ruling party have made adjustments in the direction of taking the same amount of mitigation measures for unmarried single parents receiving child support allowances as “necessary from the viewpoint of child poverty”.
On the other hand, the Liberal Democratic Party insists not to continue the extraordinary measure of adding a child support allowance of 17,500 yen per year to an unmarried single parent.
In addition, with regard to the “widows deduction” applied to spouses and bereaved or divorced single parents, there are currently income restrictions for men only, and women are subject to the same income restrictions based on the criticism of “inequality”. We are considering establishing it.
Regarding mitigation measures for unmarried single parents, there is a cautious opinion within the LDP that it is “related to the way the family is”, and the government and the ruling party are expected to make full-scale adjustments in the future.
