Kinderzuschlag beantragen als Selbständige oder Selbständiger

Kinderzuschlag können Sie auch beantragen, wenn Sie selbständig arbeiten. Zusätzlich zum Hauptantrag kommt die Anlage zum Einkommen aus selbständiger Tätigkeit (KiZ 5a). Dort tragen Sie für jeden der sechs Monate vor dem Antrag Ihre Einnahmen und Ausgaben ein — Monat für Monat, nicht als Jahressumme.

Applying for Kinderzuschlag as a self-employed person

You can apply for Kinderzuschlag even if you work as a self-employed person.

In addition to the main application comes the annex on income from self-employment (KiZ 5a).

There you enter your receipts and expenses for each of the six months before the application — month by month, not as an annual total.

The six months

Kinderzuschlag calculates with the average of the six months before the application. In the official form this span of time is called the assessment period. On a phone we show you one month after another, so that the table does not become a puzzle.

What counts as an expense

Business expenses that actually flowed out in the month concerned. What is deductible for tax is decided by the tax office — we enter what you state and add the totals up.

If you also work as an employee

Then a certificate of earnings for the employment is added, which your firm fills in. Both alongside each other is possible.

What that costs

The price depends on how many children you are applying for the supplement for. The sample calculations are on the page about Kinderzuschlag (child supplement).
