A deferral of credit for technical reasons
Families waiting for the instant tax credit for child care for their young children must readjust their expectations. Initially planned for rapid implementation, this aid is now expected on July 1, 2026. “ We prefer to implement a system that works rather than having to deal with computer bugs », justifies the Ministry of the Economy. This postponement, mainly due to technical reasons, is linked to the overhaul of aid from the Family Allowance Fund (CAF) and the complexity of their integration into the credit calculation.
The implications of this decision are not trivial. Families, who should have benefited from this advance next January, are forced to continue to advance childcare costs. This situation particularly affects parents of more than 4.5 million households who use these services. The government is nevertheless trying to compensate for this delay by paying a deposit of 60% of the tax credit from January, a measure in place since Macron’s first five-year term..
Impact on families and reactions
This delay raises various reactions within society. On the one hand, it affects the cash flow of households who must pay significant costs. On the other hand, it raises questions regarding future adjustments, particularly with regard to the maximum thresholds for state advances. An article in Le Parisien recently reported a possible reduction in these thresholds, going from 6,000 euros to 3,000 euros, although nothing has yet been decided according to Bercy.
The Federation of Individual Employers (Fepem) spoke out strongly once morest these changes. She finds it unacceptable that “ individual employers are the adjustment variable for measures aimed at combating fraud “. Fepem underlines the importance of the immediate advance and the tax credit in reducing undeclared work, “ estimated at 18% compared to 50% at the start of 2000 “. These elements reflect the extent of the impact of this postponement on the daily lives of French families and on the home employment market.
In conclusion, although the measure is designed to make life easier for families and guarantee the efficiency of the tax system, its postponement represents a major challenge for households and the structures that support them. It appears crucial to monitor the evolution of these adjustments and their impact on French society, while keeping in mind the initial objectives of these reforms.
