Child care payments (NEW)

[mikeymack2002]

Has any one been following the research paper (RP) about child care costs? if not this is a well worth read see here

 

http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2014-15/childcarepayments.html

 

 

description This is a report of the House of Commons Committee Stage of the Childcare Payments Bill. The Bill would introduce a new tax-free childcare scheme to support eligible parents with childcare costs. Under the scheme, the Government would provide 20 per cent support on costs up to £10,000 per year for each child via an online account. The Government would top up any payments made into the account, capped at a maximum Government contribution of £2,000 a year for each child.

having read the act, i am confused as to who would actually be eligible

 

you have to be in work

your income has to be below a certain level (not sure what)

you cant get it if claiming tax credits or universal credit

This is still being heard atm in the HoC I am hoping that further details will be forth coming, if this can get a discussion going that is all it is about.

 

 

I hope for those that can get the extra help this will make a difference at home
