HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) are reminding working families to save money on their childcare costs in time for the school holidays.
With the Easter break just weeks away, families yet to sign up for Tax-Free Childcare could be missing out on annual savings of up to £2,000 per child, or £4,000 if their child is disabled.
Tax-Free Childcare can help pay for approved childcare for children aged 11 or under, or up to 16 if the child has a disability.
Parents can receive up to £500 (or £1,000 if their child is disabled) every three months, which means for every £8 paid into their online account, they will automatically receive an additional £2 top up from the Government.
It takes just 20 minutes to apply online for a Tax-Free Childcare account and it can be used to help pay for a child’s nursery, childminder, breakfast or after-school club or holiday activity club.
It can also be used alongside the 15 or 30 hours' free childcare offer and to help pay for any specialist equipment needed for a disabled child when they’re attending childcare.
