Families with children can receive a tax payment until September 30

Parents who are officially employed and have two or more children have a chance to refund some of the taxes paid. However, the time to submit documents in 2026 expires on September 30. This was warned by a member of the Association of lawyers of Russia Ivan Kurbakov.

Apply for an annual family payment can citizens of the Russian Federation who permanently reside in the country. The main criteria: the presence of at least two minor children (or full-time students under 23 years), as well as the official income from which personal income tax is withheld. At the same time, the average per capita income in the family should not exceed one and a half regional subsistence minimum. The state also checks the property of applicants for compliance with the established limits. An important nuance: the candidate should not have arrears on alimony.

The essence of the benefit is to reduce the tax rate for eligible families from the usual 13% to 6%. The resulting difference is returned to parents in the form of a lump sum.

You can apply in three ways: through the portal "Gosuslugi", in any MFC or branch of the Social Fund of Russia. The fastest option is online. To do this, in the personal account "State Services" you need to go to the "Services" section, select the "Family" category, find the "Annual Family Payment" item and fill out the proposed electronic form. You can track the status of consideration of the application there in your personal account, writes RIA Novosti.
