TAX DEDUCTION

Parents in Estonia can benefit from tax deductions on educational expenses for their children under the age of 26. According to the Estonian Tax and Customs Board, the following key points apply:

Transfer of Deductions: If the deductible amount exceeds the taxpayer’s income, the unused portion can be transferred to the spouse, provided they were married at the end of the tax year.

Eligibility: Taxpayers can deduct educational expenses incurred for themselves, their children, grandchildren, siblings, or a permanent resident of Estonia under 26 years of age. This also includes fees for kindergarten and extended-day group activities, provided these institutions have the necessary accreditation.

Deduction Limits: The maximum deductible amount for training expenses, housing loan interest, gifts, and donations is up to €1,200 per year. However, these deductions cannot exceed 50% of the taxpayer’s taxable income.

Requirements: The educational institution must be recognized either in Estonia or abroad. The expenses must be documented with the name and ID code of the trainee and the payer.
