What are childcare vouchers and how can I benefit?


Parents save money with Early Years Childcare Voucher Schemes

Early Years Vouchers provides information and help with setting-up a Government childcare voucher scheme for employers, carers and parents. Using employer provided childcare vouchers to pay towards your childcare costs allows Income Tax and National Insurance savings by making a pre-tax salary sacrifice to pay for childcare. Children up to 16 years of age can qualify.

For 2008/9 the Tax and NI free allowance for childcare vouchers is £55 per week, or £243.00 per month, for each working parent.

Savings for the 2008/9 tax year of up to £1195.56 per year per parent can be made.

The childcare voucher scheme is open to and free for all registered or approved child carers.

Visit the benefits of childcare vouchers section for more information on and learn how they benefit employees, carers and employers. Alternatively please browse through the Key Benefits section in the navigation bar above or submit your telephone number for a call back using the form on the right.


Childcare Vouchers Benefit Employers too

Companies and organisations of varying sizes take advantage of Early Years Childcare Voucher Scheme. This is because the cost of using the child care voucher scheme for an employer starts at 5% of voucher value, but more than reimbursed by national insurance tax savings, and provides a great flexible benefit for employees. The salary sacrifice scheme is free to register for all employers of any size. Read about the advantages of childcare vouchers and flexible benefit schemes for employers and employees. Organisations can access more frequently asked questions, help, advice and information for employers, and employer benefits and case studies.
