child care vouchers

Post by nipsy »

Hi guys.

Was just wondering if we are entitled to childcare vouchers or anything of the sort?

TIA

No doubt someone will do so soon.

Just the government scheme where you don't pay tax on a portion of your wages.

It can affect Tax Credits but basically you can have upto £300 from your wages without paying tax if you spend it on childcare.
As most people lose about 25% of their wages to tax you essentially only pay for 2/3rds of your childcare.
