Tax Free Childcare
Are you and your employees missing out on Tax-Free Childcare?
For many working parents, childcare costs can play a large role when planning a return to work or considering their career options and working hours.
Tax-Free Childcare is a government scheme that can help, as eligible parents could get up to £2,000 per child, per year to spend on qualifying childcare.
Parents are usually eligible if they (and their partner, if they have one) are;
- in work or planning to return to work within 31 days
- each earning, on average, at least the National Minimum Wage for 16 hours a week, currently £125.28 if they’re 25 or over.
You don’t need to do anything, but telling your employees about Tax-Free Childcare could:
- help them with their childcare costs
- help their return to work
- help them work more hours, if they want to
- help you retain staff you’ve invested in.
