Childcare vouchers how much do i save




















Joined your employer's scheme before 6 April Joined your employer's scheme on or after 6 April However, eligibility criteria for employer provided childcare vouchers are not devolved to the Scottish and Welsh governments and, therefore, the basic, higher and additional income tax rates mentioned above are the UK rates. This means that the same limits apply for all employees in the UK in receipt of childcare vouchers even if they are Scottish or Welsh taxpayers.

The actual tax savings for Scottish taxpayers may differ from those set out in the table above, as they will pay income tax according to the Scottish rates and bands. If you take vouchers above these limits, the excess will be liable to tax and National Insurance. This is because if she did not take the vouchers, she would have to pay more tax and National Insurance as her taxable salary would be higher.

At the start of each tax year, which runs from 6 April to 5 April, your employer will carry out a basic earnings assessment. The assessment remains valid for the whole of the relevant tax year and is an assessment made based on information available at the start of the tax year.

The value of your childcare vouchers will be based on this assessment. You can find more detailed information about the basic earnings assessment in the HMRC guide for employers.

They'll have to tell us about themselves and their registration details so that we know they qualify under the scheme. They'll have to give us their bank details so we can pay them for you. We'll also give them good clear remittance advice when we make payment to them so they know the money is from you.

Other than that, this scheme won't affect them. The money will be credited to your Rascals account on payday. Please ask your employer about this if you are weekly paid as sometimes schemes vary. The value of the electronic vouchers that you have chosen to receive will be sent to us and credited to your Rascals account. You then have complete control over your money. You can choose when and who to pay.

Simply deduct the amount that's paid by your Local Authority and you can use vouchers to help pay for the rest. Childcare Vouchers can only be used to pay for registered childcare. This helps working parents to make a saving on what they pay for their childcare. In most cases, employees manage their Childcare Vouchers through an online account, which they use to pay their childcare provider electronically.

Employers also save money by providing Childcare Vouchers to their employees as they do not pay the From this saving, most employers pay a Childcare Voucher company, like Employers For Childcare, a small fee to administer the Childcare Voucher scheme on their behalf.

The increase will be paid by employees, the self-employed and by employers. As a result of this increase to National Insurance Contributions, parents who are currently in receipt of Childcare Vouchers will make an additional saving towards their registered childcare costs from Giving employees choice for as long as possible is the message here. Bear in mind if an employee is not in an employer sponsored scheme before April he or she will not be able to join or re-join.

Employees will greatly appreciate any help understanding the differences in these two schemes. We will be covering this topic more in our childcare and family workshops. Please contact us for more information about this.
