Reducing the costs of childcare
Tax-Free Childcare
Tax-Free Childcare is a scheme set up by HMRC. You can also use the online calculator to find out what you can access. Parents are able to open an online account, which you can pay into to cover the cost of childcare with a registered provider. This will be done through the Childcare Choices website.
- For working families, including the self-employed, in the UK.
- With children under 12 (or under 17 if disabled).
- For every £8 you pay in, the Government will add an extra £2, up to £2,000 for each child.
