HMRC urges working families not to miss out on £500 tax-free boost to help cover costs this summer

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is urging working parents in Scotland not to miss out on the chance to get up to £2,000 a year to help pay for regulated childcare, including holiday clubs and other out-of-school activities, during the summer break.

Tax-Free Childcare provides thousands of eligible working families with up to £500 every three months, or £1,000 if their child is disabled, towards the cost of holiday clubs, before and after-school clubs, childminders and nurseries, and other approved childcare schemes.

For every £8 deposited into a Tax-Free Childcare online account, families will receive an additional £2 in UK Government top-up, and it is available for children aged up to 11, or 17 if the child has a disability.
