Left-wing Party Demands Tax Credit for Single Parents
Berlin – The Left-wing Party is calling for a tax credit for single parents to alleviate their financial burden. The party’s parliamentary group introduced a motion to the Bundestag on Tuesday, demanding a monthly credit of €300 per child for single mothers and fathers.
According to the motion, single parents often face significant financial challenges due to their limited earning capacity and the additional costs associated with raising a child alone. The tax credit would provide much-needed financial relief and help improve their living conditions.
The Left-wing Party argues that single parents make a valuable contribution to society by raising children and participating in the workforce. However, they often face discrimination and social disadvantages, which compound their financial struggles.
The proposed tax credit would be available to all single parents, regardless of their income or employment status. It would be claimed through the tax return and would apply retroactively to January 2024.
The Left-wing Party estimates that the tax credit would cost the federal government approximately €3.6 billion per year. However, they believe that the investment is necessary to ensure that single parents and their children have a fair chance at a better life.
The motion will now be debated in the Bundestag’s Budget Committee. It is unclear whether the other parties will support the proposal. The government has not yet commented on the Left-wing Party’s demand.
