Tax-Free Childcare

​

The Tax-Free Childcare allows parents to receive up to £2,000 per child per year (or £4000 for children with disabilities) to help with childcare costs. These initiatives aim to make childcare more affordable and accessible for families across the country.

 

Parents who receive Tax-Free childcare cannot claim childcare tax credit or universal credit.

Tax-Free childcare is available to the following:

  • Families with children aged 0-11 (or 0-16 if disabled)

  • Working families in the UK

  • Those who are not receiving Childcare Vouchers, Universal Credit or Tax Credits

  • Those earning at least the National Minimum or Living Wage equal to 16 hours a week, or under £100,000 p.a.

Visit the Government's Childcare Choices website https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/ to find out more.
