Penza told about tax relief for fathers

Russian fathers are not only entitled to standard child benefits. They have access to tax deductions, property tax benefits and some pension support measures.

One notable innovation awaits the family in 2026. If the employer decides to help the employee at the birth of a child and allocates an amount within 1 million rubles, this money will not be taxed on personal income tax. This benefit applies to each parent. Khalimov advises to discuss such a payment with the employer in advance. For comparison: the federal allowance for the birth of a child is now 28,450.45 rubles.

There are other possibilities. The father can take leave to care for a child up to three years if his earnings are higher than that of the mother. The amount of payment depends on the salary and can reach 83,021.92 rubles. From 2024, the allowance is maintained even if the parent is out full-time.

Also, the father has the right to rely on maternity capital, but only in certain cases: if he is the only adoptive parent, or the mother died, deprived of parental rights or committed a deliberate crime against the child. If a third child was born in the family, the father-borrower can issue a payment of up to 450 thousand rubles to repay the mortgage. The Public Chamber previously proposed to establish for fathers with many children a separate payment of at least 2 million rubles.
