These days, many parents are beginning to suffer from their children’s return to school. And we talk about suffering because the expenses that all this entails are increasingly higher and, in some cases, almost unbearable for some families.
Even if we only have one child, the expenses that going back to school entails for families multiply year after year. All this without even mentioning if we have to take care of several children who are of school age. That is precisely why, if a series of circumstances arise, we can take advantage of some of the aid offered by the different Autonomous Communities of our country.
Specifically, we are referring to the possibility of deducting expenses corresponding to the usual elements of the return to school that we mentioned. This includes elements such as school uniforms, school supplies, childcare expenses, daycare, etc.
