Tax Free Childcare
Are you ready for Tax Free Childcare?
Childcare providers across the country are signing up for the government’s new offer: Tax-Free Childcare.
Tax-Free Childcare will help working parents with the cost of childcare, offering up to £2,000 per child per year, or £4,000 if a child is disabled.
Parents will be able to open an online account, which they can use to pay for childcare from a registered provider. For every £8 parents pay into these accounts, the government will add £2. Childcare providers must sign up to be able to receive payments from parents through the scheme.
Sign up now at:
https://childcare-support.tax.service.gov.uk
Tax-Free Childcare can be used to pay for:
- Pre schools
- Registered childminders
- Day nurseries
- School based care (that is paid for, such as after-school clubs)
- To qualify, parents must be in work, and each earning at least £115 a week (on average) and not more than £100,000 each per year
Parents can use Tax-Free Childcare alongside the 15 and 30 hours free childcare schemes in England, or any free childcare hours provided by the Scottish, Welsh or Northern Ireland governments.
Parents will only be able to pay their childcare provider from their childcare account if their childcare provider is signed up to Tax-Free Childcare.
While parents can’t make payments using both Tax-Free Childcare and childcare vouchers, childcare providers who are signed up to Tax-Free Childcare can receive payments from both schemes.
Parents will soon be able to search for childcare providers who have signed up using an online tool.
Letters were sent to registered childcare providers throughout September and October, inviting them to sign up and get ready for the launch of Tax-Free Childcare. They must do this in order to receive payments from parents through the scheme.
To sign up, childcare providers should visit www.childcare.tax.service.gov.uk and will need:
- The unique code included in their invitation letter.
- The bank account details for the account they wish to receive payments into.
- Their Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) number – or their National Insurance number, if they don’t have a UTR.
