Bonus Mamme: Who Qualifies and What You Get

This scheme provides tax relief for working mothers to help reduce social security costs and increase monthly take-home pay.

👤Who it's for

This relief is specifically designed for working mothers who are balancing employment with childcare. To qualify for this benefit, you must be a working mother and have two or more children.

🎁What you get

The benefit is an exemption from social security contributions, known locally as an "esonero contributivo." This tax relief is designed to reduce the amount of money deducted from your earnings for social security, meaning you see more of your salary in your bank account. The total value of this relief can reach up to €3,000 per year, depending on your specific circumstances.

💰What it costs you

There is no direct monetary fee to access this scheme. However, it does require some administrative effort from you. You will need to provide your employer with the necessary documentation to prove your eligibility, specifically the tax codes for your children. You must also ensure your employer is officially notified so they can adjust your payroll correctly.

⚠️The catch to know

The most important thing to remember is that this benefit is not automatic. You cannot simply assume the tax relief will appear on your payslip on its own. If you do not take the step of providing your children's tax codes to your employer, you will miss out on the savings. It is up to the employee to initiate the process through their workplace.

📝How to apply

1. Locate the official tax codes for each of your children.
2. Contact your employer or your company's payroll department to notify them of your eligibility.
3. Submit your children's tax codes to your employer to request the "esonero contributivo."
4. Monitor your monthly payslips to ensure the social security exemption is being applied correctly.
