==Taxation allowances==

'''With reference to the DECLARATION in accordance with and for the effects of art. 23 of DPR 600/1973 and subsequent modifications for Taxation Allowances (art. 13, DPR 917/1986) and in accordance with arts. 46 and 47 of D.P.R. 445/2000 we specify that:'''

Deductions for employed or equivalent status are deductions that can be applied to income assimilated to employment (such as the contribution to living expenses) and that must be applied in proportion to the period of activity (in the case of the contribution to living expenses, for the academic year: from 1st October or 1st November to 30th September or 31st October).
These deductions make it possible to pay less tax on the income received. In the case of small annual incomes, as in the case of the living expenses contribution, the deductions are very high and allow you to receive the full amount of the contribution.
You can benefit from these deductions if you receive an income assimilated to employment. If, in addition to the contribution to living expenses, you receive other income from employment (e.g. collaboration - [[150 hours]] and 'tutoring' excluded), on which you claim deductions, it is advisable not to claim these deductions on the contribution to living expenses as well, as you would risk exceeding the permitted limit.  This would result in the amount being returned in the tax return.
