Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Secretary of State for Education's oral contribution of 13th March 2018, Official Report, column 802, what discussions he has had with employers on the potential confusion over eligibility for childcare vouchers in the middle of the tax year.
HM Revenue & Customs has published guidance on childcare vouchers which is regularly updated. The guidance can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/help-with-childcare-costs/childcare-vouchers.
HMRC are working with employers and representative bodies so that they understand and can advise their employees about the extension of the childcare vouchers scheme.
