Alimony or separate maintenance payments under a divorce or separation agreement completed after 2018 are not deductible by the payer and are not counted as income of the recipient. Previously, alimony paid before 2019 was deductible by the payer, and the recipient had to include it in income.
Alimony or separate maintenance payments under a divorce or separation agreement completed after 2018 are not deductible by the payer and are not counted as income of the recipient. Previously, alimony paid before 2019 was deductible by the payer, and the recipient had to include it in income.
For agreements signed before 2019, the recipient must report alimony on their tax returns as income, and the payer can deduct payments on their taxes. However, a new law applicable to divorces finalized on or after Jan. 1, 2019, no longer treats alimony as income, meaning the payer can no longer deduct it.
The economic capacity of the spouse paying maintenance reduces, while that of the spouse receiving maintenance increases. Therefore, the paying spouse can deduct the alimony expenses from tax, while the receiving spouse is taxed on the received alimony.
The basic calculation runs like this: (A - B) / 7 x 3. A and B being the incomes of the spouses. Calculation: 1.000,00 / 7 x 3 = 428,00 ?. In this (simplified) example the husband could claim a monthly support of 428,00 ? in case of separation.
