As the Easter school holidays draw nearer, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is reminding families that they can save up to £2,000 a year on childcare costs with Tax-Free Childcare. More than 24,900 families in Scotland used the scheme in September 2022 and benefited from the UK Government paying towards childcare costs.
HMRC is encouraging families to find out more about Tax-Free Childcare and check their eligibility on the Childcare Choices microsite on GOV.UK here.
Tax-Free Childcare can help working families pay for any approved childcare for children aged 11 or under, or, 16 if the child has a disability - whether the child goes to nursery, a childminder, attends breakfast or after school club, has holiday care or goes to an out of school activity.
