Today we want to clarify all your doubts in this regard and tell you, at the same time, how you can request the deduction for large family in your return this year.
First of all, you should know that the ancestors (or also the father and mother orphaned siblings) who form what is called a 'large family' have the right to a deduction in income tax .

You must bear in mind that, as announced by the Tax Agency, the amount of these deductions is increased this year by up to 600 euros per year for each of the children that make up the large family that exceed the minimum number of children for families numerous general or special.
However, as it is a recent change, the deduction this year can only be applied to an extra 250 euros per child, since it corresponds to the months of August and December . It is just the date on which this novelty came into force, from the hand of the Government of Pedro Sánchez.
In any case, to request these deductions, it will be essential that taxpayers make the corresponding indications in the boxes enabled to indicate this circumstance in the Renta WEB program, which is the tool that we are all using to make the 2018 Income statement.
