Field help: Claim to child benefit existed

Enter here the time period in 2025 during which someone was entitled to child benefit or allowances for this child.

Foreign child benefit or allowances are to be treated as equivalent to domestic claims.

In months during which you receive child benefit or child allowances for your child, no maintenance payments are recognised.

If you have been receiving child benefit and child allowances for your child for the entire year, you cannot declare maintenance payments as exceptional costs in your tax return.
