Tax-Free Childcare has arrived

February 2, 2017 By Nichola Ashman

  • aa_195814892Tax-Free Childcare is an online account, like a bank account which you can pay money into. The account can only be opened by parents with children aged up to twelve, or 17 if they have disabilities
  • the parents must be in work, and each earn at least £115 a week, but not more than £100,000 each per year
  • anyone can pay into it, not just the parents, at any time they like
  • for each 80p paid in the government will add 20p
  • the money must be used to pay for childcare with a carer who is registered to receive a Tax-Free Childcare payment
  • to qualify you must not be receiving free or subsidised childcare, or childcare vouchers from your employer
  • if you close the account and draw the money out instead of using it for childcare, you’ll lose the government’s contribution.

When can you sign up? There’s good news and bad. While some parents will be able to start a Tax-Free Childcare account some time in spring 2017 (an exact date hasn’t been fixed), the scheme is being rolled out gradually. It’s being made available to those with the youngest children first. It might be much later in the year before it’s available to all working parents.
