Can employees obtain a refund for any unused childcare vouchers?
HMRC will accept that the purpose of the childcare voucher scheme won’t change if employers only exchange unused vouchers for cash in exceptional circumstances event (for example, death of the child, redundancy of one parent etc). However this is contractual law and entirely at the discretion of the employer. To receive a refund, employees should complete a Reimbursement Request form and return it your HR or Payroll department who will forward to Employers for Childcare Vouchers, and a refund will be issued.
