Who can get Tax-Free Childcare?
The government adds £2 for every £8 you pay a registered childcare provider, up to a cap. You and a partner usually both have to be working. You cannot use it at the same time as the Universal Credit childcare element.
- Paid by HM Revenue and Customs.
- The catalogue looks for: A child under 12, or under 17 if disabled.
- The catalogue looks for: You pay a registered provider.
- The catalogue looks for: Work, and a partner in work if there is one.
- This is not a decision. The department or the council decides.
