Tax free childcare-If you cannot get universal credit(going back to work) - Family support directory
When support is available
The government will pay £2 for every £8 the parent pays into an online account, which can only be used to pay registered childcare providers. The maximum contribution from the government is £2,000 per child a year (£4,000 if the child is disabled). It is available to families with individual incomes up to £100,000 a year.
More information
Tax-free childcare is not a helpful option for low income families because it cannot be paid at the same time as tax credits or universal credit.
