Wait with the building application because of the child construction allowance

we had talked about the fact that only the number of children in the respective year is relevant for determining the zvE. From my point of view, this is not evident from this wording. To me it sounds like this.

1. Submit both tax assessments.
2. Turn on the calculator and calculate the average.
3. Check the allowance based on the children at the time of application.

But I assume that there is also a funding guideline that contains further details.

Or rather, I just hope now that we can manage the collection for 2019. The average 2016/2017 would be under 90k, then it would definitely work

If in 2016 there was no child, then it is 75k€ zvE. If in 2017 there was a child, then 90k€ zvE. Take the average of that and it has to be below something?

If you then have 2 children at the time of application, presumably 105k€ zvE. Somehow that doesn’t make sense, right!?

Your version will probably be the correct one!

One could still explain such a subtlety, as the process of family planning is indeed subject to a certain dynamic.

I still consider both possible, none of the following variants is excluded based on this information sheet:

Variant 1: Application 2019 with 2 children, taxable income of the relevant years must be below 105k

Variant 2: Application 2019 with 2 children, 2016/2017 only one child, taxable income must be below 90k

I think option 1 sounds more likely. In my opinion, there should be a note for option 2, which I don’t see anywhere.

The "application within 3 months after moving in" rule is really nasty. Some used buyers who actually meet all the conditions will fall through the cracks — those who bought this year and already moved in before June 18. This possibly also affects some Viebrockhaus or prefabricated house builders. Simply because they had no way to submit the application on time. Depending on the location, the processing time of the tax return might also spoil the deal...

But for the amount of the BKG, the presence of the children at the time of application counts, not at the building permit. Good for me

Depending on the place of residence, the processing time of the tax return may also throw a wrench in the works…

There is a special regulation for them this year

Until recently, it was still said that the first property as a family was decisive, i.e., the first purchase with a child.

We have a tiny condominium (bought before having children). What happens if we sell this before the building permit for our house? Are we then eligible for funding again?

Ah, right, reading to the end helps

Until recently, it was said that the first property as a family was still decisive, meaning the first purchase with a child.

Sounds like it to me. I don't find it clearly stated in the leaflet, but in the mouseover explanation on the program page itself, it definitely is.
