Social tax benefit in 2019: who is entitled to it and how to get it

За чинним законодавством, громадяни, які працюють неповний робочий день, батьки двох і більше дітей та деякі інші категорії осіб мають право на податкову соціальну пільгу.

Ця соціальна пільга - це можливість платника податків зменшити нараховану суму місячної зарплатні на розмір такої пільги. Тобто зарплата зменшується на суму пільги і лише після цього оподатковується податком на доходи фізичних осіб.

Наразі загальна податкова пільга становить 50% місячного розміру прожиткового мінімуму для дієздатних осіб, встановленого на 1 січня звітного податкового року.

Тобто, якщо нині, станом на 1 січня 2019 року, прожитковий мінімум для дієздатних осіб становить 1921 грн, податкова пільга становитиме 960 грн 50 коп (50% від 1921 грн).
