子育て｜共働き家庭を支援する新税制 / Parenting | New Tax System to Support Dual-Income Families

Summary

The government is considering a system that allows working families to deduct a portion of their babysitting expenses from their taxes.

This initiative is part of the efforts by the Child and Family Agency, aimed at reducing the childcare burden on families. Specifically, it is planned to be introduced in the tax reform for the next fiscal year, with the expectation of creating an environment where working families can focus on raising their children with greater peace of mind.

Log: Did you know that the government is considering a tax deduction for babysitting fees for dual-income families?
Chako: Really? That would be such a huge help! It means everyone can raise their kids more easily!
Log: Exactly. It would significantly ease the burden of childcare, especially for dual-income families.
Chako: Yeah, but do you think it’ll actually happen?
Navi: This initiative is being pushed by the government through the Child and Family Agency, so it’s considered quite feasible. There’s a strong demand for enhanced childcare support, so expectations are high.
Chako: I see! I really hope they implement the system soon!

Admin’s Note

I believe this government’s initiative demonstrates an understanding and support for dual-income families. In particular, alleviating the burden of childcare will have positive effects not only for families but for society as a whole. Creating an environment where children can be raised safely, like in Chaco, is essential for the future of our society. I look forward to seeing how this develops.
