So in practice we give our government a credit.
Same with us: we've still got a child living in the house > 18 years and studying, so we get a refund for her.
My daughter gets her tax from her (little) sidejob back. She's allowed to earn a certain amount next to the College-money she gets from the State (90 euros a month, because she lives with her parents; if not it would somewhere between 400 and 500 euros a month).That is the amount she gets for maximum 6 years (doesn't have to pay it back).
If she needs more or longer, she can take a student-loan with low interest and (I think) 10-15 years period to pay it back. But we don't want that: we're her bank.
