Childcare: Taxation
Tuesday 30th April 2024

Asked by: Claire Hanna (Social Democratic & Labour Party - Belfast South)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answers of 17 April 2024 to Question 21426 and 24 April 2024 to Question 22418 on Childcare: Taxation, if he will make a (a) comparative assessment of the average cost of childcare (i) when the tax-free childcare cap was set and (ii) at 24 April 2024 and (b) impact of that change on the effectiveness of tax-free childcare in supporting parents with costs.

Answered by Laura Trott - Chief Secretary to the Treasury

For Tax-Free Childcare, the £2 Government top-up for every £8 parents pay in, and the £2,000 cap on Government support which can be claimed per year and per child, were set at these levels because the Government believes they strike the right balance between helping parents with their childcare costs, and managing the public finances in a responsible way.

The Government keeps all aspects of childcare policy under review.
