Families could be missing out on up to £2000 a year to help with childcare costs

HMRC is reminding UK families that they could be missing out on an opportunity to get up to £2000 per year to help with the cost of childcare.

Tax-Free Childcare - the 20% childcare top-up - provides eligible working families with up to £500 every 3 months (or £1000 if their child is disabled) towards the cost of nurseries, childminders, holiday clubs, before and after-school clubs, and other accredited childcare schemes.

Parents and carers can check their eligibility and register here.
