Chapter 37 of the tax law – credit for support of one’s spouse

Everyone supports their spouse ! Well at least they should, I mean that’s what spouses are for, to support each other.

Yes, but that’s not the kind of support we’re talking about here.

Up until Dec 31, 2004, if a husband or wife did not work or have income from a pension or from self-employed work, the working spouse received an extra tax credit point via their payslip each month.

Corrections of the tax law in 2005 and 2006 changed this.

The extra tax credit is now only available to  retirement age individuals whose spouse has no income and is supported by their spouse.

If your spouse had no annual income and neither of you are of retirement age, only the tax authorities can authorize additional tax credits. You would need to submit a tax rebate request for salaried employees along with your 106 form(s) at the end of the year.
