Renfrewshire families can save up to £2,000 a year on childcare costs

Renfrewshire families are being reminded that they can save up to £2,000 a year on childcare costs with tax-free childcare.

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is encouraging families to find out more about tax-free childcare and check their eligibility via childcare choices.

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.
