Soon over 100 euros more child benefit? Social associations are demanding a huge increase. Tax relief for top earners could be withdrawn in order to increase child benefit.
Social associations fear that increasing the child tax allowance could widen the gap between rich and poor, which is why child benefit must also increase. The liberal party under Christian Lindner plans to increase the child allowance without also increasing child benefit, says the RND. The SPD thinks this is unfair because it would mainly relieve the burden on high-earning households.
