Childcare Voucher

Childcare Voucher benefits are the No. 1 way for companies to attract and retain working parents. Electronic Childcare Vouchers are an alternative to traditional paper vouchers when providing essential and invaluable childcare benefits for working parents. Childcare Vouchers are Tax and National Insurance exempt for £55 per week. Employees choosing childcare vouchers could save between £962 and £1,195 per year.

Childcare Vouchers Schemes

Childcare Vouchers are usually provided through a "salary sacrifice" arrangement, which means for every £1 that you receive in childcare vouchers, you receive £1 less of your gross salary. Unlike salary, you don't have to pay any tax or national insurance on childcare vouchers. Both parents can use childcare vouchers, so families can save up to £2,392 a year. Childcare vouchers can be used for: Nurseries, pre-school and playgroups, Childminders, Holiday play-schemes and out-of-school care, Nannies, babysitters and au-pairs. Your childcare provider must be registered or approved by an appropriate authority.
