Taxpayers whose tax residence is in France benefit from a reduction in their income tax when their dependent children are in secondary or higher education during the school year in progress on 31 December of the tax year.
The amount of the tax reduction is set at :
61 € per child attending a collège;
153 € per child attending a lycée d’enseignement général et technologique or a lycée professionnel;
183 € per child attending a higher education course.
The amounts mentioned in the previous paragraphs are divided by two when the child is deemed to be equally dependent on both parents (1).
The benefit of the tax reduction is subject to the condition that, for each child concerned, his or her surname and first name, the name of the educational establishment and the class he or she attends or the name of the higher education establishment in which he or she is enrolled are mentioned on the tax return.
The provisions of 5 of I of article 197 are applicable.
