Field help: Total amount reimbursed Select "yes" if you have received tax-free reimbursements or subsidies for childcare costs, e.g. from your employer. Tax-free reimbursements reduce the deductible childcare costs and must therefore be declared. This includes, for example, subsidies for kindergarten, daycare, nursery or after-school care fees, as well as for childminders. Employer subsidies are generally only tax-free for children not yet of school age.
