AT A GLANCE
Tax-Free Childcare is worth up to £2,000 per child per year and pays towards childcare costs at more than 58,000 registered providers including schools, football, art and tennis clubs.
For every 80p a parent puts in, the Government will add 20p – giving, effectively, basic-rate tax back on what is paid, hence the scheme’s name. The scheme can be used to pay for up to £10,000 of childcare per child each year – hence the £2,000 per child saving (this is £4,000 for a child who is disabled).
Parents can get Tax-Free Childcare at the same time as the 30 hours free childcare if they are eligible for both.
