The rates for cost of living expenses are determined by the Ministry of Children and Family and are intended to cover expenses such as for food, clothing, electricity, heating, transportation, home content insurance, health, hygiene, phone, newspapers, leisure activities, and so on.  

When calculating the deduction, we will ensure that you have enough money to cover the necessary living and housing expenses. Therefore, you must send us proof of housing expenses and costs for childcare and child maintenance, as well as any extraordinary expenses. 

If the deduction is too high, you must appeal the deduction as soon as possible to ensure we deduct the correct amount.
