What is the Government planning to do about Childcare Vouchers?
Family with children • After April 2011, there’ll be no tax breaks on new Childcare Voucher schemes which are set up. Once again they will become a cost to employers as they were in 1999 • After April 2011, no new employees will be able to join existing schemes and benefit from tax breaks. • After April 2015, all old schemes will lose the tax breaks for people who were members before April 2011 – which means that at that point, employers will stop offering existing schemes Unless we can do something about it, Childcare Vouchers will be phased out from 2011. Around 22,300 people have added their names to a petition on the Downing Street website urging the Government not to end tax relief on the vouchers.
