Greece sets August 10 deadline for tax ID to unlock €150 child allowance payments

The Greek government will make a supplemental child allowance of €150 per child payable to families whose children were born between 1 January 2025 and 31 July 2026. The additional payment phase runs until the end of August, with the final disbursement scheduled for 31 August. To receive the benefit, each child must be listed as a dependent in the 2025 tax return, have a correctly recorded AMKA, and the family’s IBAN must be active in the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE) system. No new application is required; the payment is automatic once the data are verified. Parents of children born in 2026 must obtain a tax identification number (AFM) for the child by 10 August, submitting the final birth certificate to complete the process. The allowance amount scales with the number of dependent children (e.g., €300 for two children). Income thresholds apply, varying by family type.
