The move is a blow to childcare voucher companies, as the current voucher schemes will be phased out and closed to new entrants when TFC is introduced.
The Government has chosen the NS&I to manage the Tax-Free Childcare scheme when it is introduced in autumn 2015.

TFC will provide support of up to £2,000 a year for each child for households where parents earn up to £150,000 a year each and a minimum of £50 a week.
