Since Monday there has been excitement in some high-earning households in the country. This was triggered by a message that Family Minister Lisa Paus (Greens) wants to cut back on parental allowance from next year. “The income limit for those who can receive parental allowance is lowered to 150,000 euros in taxable annual income,” Paus confirmed the plans on Tuesday in an interview with broadcaster RTL/ntv. So far it’s been 300,000 euros per pair.
