Child benefit is a state cash benefit paid to parents. See more information here.
A detailed description can be found in this leaflet from the family benefits office.
Child benefit in cross-border cases (only EU, EEA states and Switzerland):
In some cases, child benefit can be paid across borders. Watch this video (you can set an English subtitle ) to find out if you are eligible for this special form of financial support.
The child tax deduction is deducted from the taxable income by the tax office when filing the tax return. So, in contrast to the child benefit, which the state pays to the parents every month it’s a fictitious calculation figure.
Child allowance provides additional financial support for low-income-families. See more information here.
