Tax-Free Childcare

If you get Tax-Free Childcare, you can set up an online childcare account for your child using the following website:

https://www.gov.uk/sign-in-childcare-account

For every £8 you pay into this account, the government will pay in £2 to use to pay your provider.

You can get Tax-Free Childcare at the same time as 30 hours free childcare if you’re eligible for both.

Eligibility

Your eligibility depends on:

• if you are working
• your income (and your partner’s income, if you have one)
• your child’s age and circumstances
• your immigration status
   

If you are working

You can usually get Tax-Free Childcare if you (and your partner, if you have one) are:

• in work
• on sick leave or annual leave
• on shared parental, maternity, paternity or adoption leave

If your working pattern has changed because of coronavirus (COVID-19)

You may still be eligible for Tax-Free Childcare until 31 October 2020 if your working pattern has changed because of coronavirus. For example, if you’re not able to work, you’re on furlough or you’re working less.
