As known, per the Article 32 of the Income Tax Law, the marital status and family status of the employees are taken as basis in determining the Minimum Subsistence Allowance amount.

Changes in marital status and family status must be notified to the employers within 1 month at the latest.

These changes are notified to the employer with the Minimum Subsistence Allowance Form.

With regards to this, any incorrect calculation can be prevented if the employers remind the employees about the updates on marital or family statuses via MSA forms.

Accordingly, you can inform your employees about marital status and family status updates and request details via MSA forms if there are any changes.
