What's Changing in the Child Tax Credit? Who Gets Left Out? Live Events FAQs (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel US president Donald Trump's new tax and spending package, which is referred to as the 'One Big, Beautiful Bill', includes a modest increase to the child tax credit, but there is a catch. While the change could bring a small benefit to middle- and upper-income families, many of the lowest-income families, including millions of children, will be left out entirely, as per a Yahoo Finance bill increases the maximum child tax credit from $2,000 to $2,200 per child; otherwise, the maximum credit would have gone back to $1,000, as per the report.A senior analyst at the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, Joe Hughes pointed out that, 'If you're already receiving the full credit amount, then you will benefit from this,' adding, 'If you're not, then you probably won't benefit,' as quoted by Yahoo READ: 10 key takeaways from Donald Trump's Big Beautiful Bill summarised simply To qualify for the refundable part of the credit, which is known as the " additional child tax credit ", families need to earn $2,500 or more a year, as reported by Yahoo Finance. That new cutoff excludes some of the country's most impoverished families, with low-income households that earn just enough to receive part of the benefit but not enough to receive the full payment, according to the Tax Policy Center estimated that about 17 million children will be denied the full benefit due to these income limits, as reported by Yahoo example, families with incomes between $10,000 and $20,000 , including full-time employees earning the federal minimum wage, had an average benefit of only $800 in 2022, and families earning between $200,000 and $500,000, on the other hand, had an average of $2,810, the Congressional Research Service found, reported Yahoo READ: After Trump's deportation threat, Musk gets love from China, backs Tesla CEO's bold move to start his own party Director of Economic Security Project Action, Adam Ruben pointed out that, 'basically what it's doing is giving wealthier families a small boost,' adding, 'But for lower-income and working-class families, they get nothing,' as quoted in the the new legislation, even those households where both parents lack a Social Security number, which include undocumented immigrants, even those whose children have a Social Security number and are US citizens, will also be shut out from the benefit, according to the Yahoo Finance report.A professor at the Boston University School of Social Work, Dolores Acevedo-Garcia said that, 'We are excluding some of the most vulnerable kids that have very, very high poverty rates," as quoted in the report.

Global financial imbalance hurting climate, development goals: FM Sitharaman
New Delhi: Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Friday flagged persistent asymmetry in global financial flows as a major impediment to sustainable development in the Global South, warning that it continues to stifle long-term investments in clean energy, urban mobility, and climate-resilient infrastructure. Speaking at the New Development Bank's (NDB) Governors Seminar in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Sitharaman urged a fundamental rethink of the global financial architecture to better align with the development priorities of emerging and low-income economies. 'The asymmetry in global financial flows deters long-term investment and delays critical progress, especially in renewable energy, urban mobility and climate resilient infrastructure,' she said. 'The result is the widening gap between development potential and the financial realization," she added. Sitharaman also highlighted the complexity of balancing growth and sustainability, particularly in democracies like India where expanding access to housing, healthcare, education, and livelihoods remains a critical imperative. 'The real challenge, therefore, is not choosing between development and sustainability, but designing policies, particularly in partnership with emerging markets and developed economy countries that foster inclusive growth and strengthen sustainable development,' she said. The finance minister added that India is actively aligning its financial system with climate and development goals by deepening its green finance ecosystem. 'India has laid a strong foundation for green finance in recent years—through Sovereign Green Bonds, ESG disclosure mandates, and the proposed taxonomy for climate finance,' Sitharaman said. 'We are building a more resilient, inclusive, and innovation-driven financial architecture that connects capital with climate imperatives.' The finance minister underscored the role of institutions like the New Development Bank in reshaping development finance for the Global South. 'The NDB was set up to bridge a clear gap in the global financial architecture, one that responds to the unique needs of developing economies,' she said. The NDB, formerly the BRICS Development Bank, was established in 2014 by Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa to mobilize funding for infrastructure and sustainable development projects. Headquartered in Shanghai, it serves as a credible alternative to Western-led institutions like the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. Sitharaman's remarks in Brazil echoed the concerns she raised earlier this week at the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development (FFD4) in Seville, Spain, where she called for urgent reforms to the global financial system, expanded climate finance, and faster sovereign debt restructuring, especially for vulnerable economies. The calls come amid growing alarm over stalled progress on the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. The UN estimates a $4 trillion annual shortfall in development financing, severely constraining the ability of countries to invest in essential services and transition toward sustainable, inclusive growth.
