With many employees going back to work after the end of furlough support, and a gradual return to working back in the office many families will need to start thinking about re-adjusting childcare options.
Employees should set up a “Tax-Free” Childcare Account if they haven’t already done so to help pay towards the cost of childminders, breakfast and after school clubs, nursery fees and approved play schemes.
For every £8 an eligible family pay into the special account the government adds £2, up to £2,000 a year, or up to £4,000 a year if a child is disabled. The scheme is available to parents or carers who have children aged up to 11, or 17 if their child is disabled.
