Do my parents have to pay more taxes?
Only if you earn so much that you are no longer “dependent” of your parents.
‘Dependent’ means that you depend on your parents financially. Parents who have dependent children pay less tax.
If you earn more than a certain amount, you are no longer dependent and your parents will pay more taxes.
The maximum amount which you are allowed to earn, changes each year. The amount for 2024 is 12.422,50 euros..
Note! This amount only applies if you:
- have no other means of living than the wages from student employment. Read more on the page Means of living on the FPS Finance website (in French);
- submit no actual professional costs on your tax return (you stick to the fixed amount set by the tax authorities).
