Don’t forget the tax credit for household expenses

The tax credit for household expenses reduces the amount of tax you have to pay for the cleaning work done at your home or holiday home. In 2022–2024, the credit after the € 100 euro credit threshold is 60% of the paid cleaning work, up to € 3,500 per person. The maximum credit for one person is gained from € 9,000 in working expenses. In a household of two adults, the maximum credit is € 7,000 per household, which can be claimed for € 18,000 working expenses. (In 2021, the tax credit for household expenses was 40%.)

You can also claim the 60% tax credit for cleaning work (or a gift card) purchased for close relatives, such as a spouse, parents-in-law, or grandparents. Kidesiivous is registered in the preliminary tax withholding register, which means that you can claim a tax credit for household expenses for the work you purchase from us. At the end of a tax year, we provide each of our contractual customers with a summary of the previous year’s paid cleaning services.

Services exempt from VAT also available

A person who has impaired functionality due to age or illness and needs help with regular home maintenance cleaning may be entitled to purchase home cleaning services exempt from VAT. Kidesiivous has the right to provide services exempt from VAT in Helsinki, Espoo, Kauniainen, and Vantaa. A written service agreement, service instructions, and a service plan describing the need for help are required.

Children are entitled to order cleaning services exempt from VAT for their aged parents. The service is subject to a tax credit for household expenses. The person who pays for their own or their parents’ cleaning services is entitled to claim the credit.

If the customer or their parents are approaching the age of 80, this age is a sufficient reason for purchasing services exempt from VAT. Medical certificates are not needed; an agreement between Kidesiivous and the customer is sufficient. The service exempt from VAT is applied only to regular home maintenance cleaning every four weeks or every other week, for example.

The tax authorities have determined in greater detail the situations in which a customer may purchase services exempt from VAT. Read more at the vero.fi service.
