Consideration in the direction of tax exemption when using babysitter November 21, 11:04

While some households are having difficulty using nursery schools due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, the government and the ruling party are preparing to receive subsidies from local governments when using babysitters for tax reform next year. We are considering ways to prevent income taxes from being levied.

The subsidy received from the local government when using a babysitter is “miscellaneous income”, and the amount of income tax and inhabitant tax may increase, which may be a burden for the child-rearing generation.



For this reason, the government and the ruling party are considering exempting such subsidies from taxation in preparation for the tax reform next year.



In addition to babysitters, there are also local governments that provide subsidies when using unlicensed daycare centers, and the government and the ruling party are planning to discuss the scope of tax exemption.



In addition, consumption tax will be levied on charges when mothers who are suffering from "one-operated childcare" who have to raise their children by themselves use the "postnatal care business" such as breastfeeding guidance and mental care provided by local governments. We are considering not to tax.
