In addition, students will remain tax dependents of their parents if they earn up to 6,840 euros per year, which is double the current threshold. This is an important measure, because one in four students truly needs this income to cover tuition and daily expenses.
For employers, this change presents an opportunity to manage student labor more flexibly, especially in sectors facing labor shortages. At the same time, it remains essential to maintain accurate records and closely monitor the 650-hour limit.
Update-pro offers a smart solution here: thanks to real-time integration with DIMONA, the number of hours worked is continuously monitored. This prevents students from unintentionally exceeding the limit and ensures that employers do not have to block hours on a quarterly or semester basis. In addition, unused hours are carried over weekly, allowing students to make the most of their total permitted working hours.
Thanks to this automatic monitoring via Update-pro, both employers and students can take full advantage of the tax-efficient status without any unexpected tax consequences. Employers receive a warning as soon as a student approaches the limit, allowing them to take timely corrective action. This ensures that student employment remains not only a valuable source of income for young people, but also an efficient and hassle-free solution for companies that need temporary workers.
