- Childcare Vouchers can often be offered to you by your employer in addition to your salary but are more commonly offered as a “salary sacrifice”.
- This means that you sacrifice a specific amount of your salary and receive that equivalent amount in childcare vouchers.
- This means you will only pay Tax and NIC on the reduced level of your salary. Vouchers enable you to pay for childcare out of your pre tax and NI income.
- The number of children you have does not impact the amount you receive; the limits are the same whether you’ve one child or more. Vouchers are not specific to each child and have a long expiry date.
