Childcare tax free

Ask the nursery for their tax free code. Then on your gov login area, search for the nursery and save it. Then when you get your invoice you need to transfer the amount from your bank account minus the 20% tax free to the childcare account (it has a sort code and account code to set up standing order if you wish). Then once the money has arrived in your gov account the 20% extra will be deposited. Then you can pay the nursery the full bill from the gov account.
I tend to do this manually as the amount can vary month to month but you can schedule the payments into your gov childcare account and then from the childcare account to the nursery.

I get my invoice, transfer the money to the tax account (shows next day along with the 20% added) then I pay the nursery. I pay a little extra so that at some point I don't have to transfer as much if it's a longer month. Once you've done it once it's easy. Feel free to message me and I can try and help 😊

Transfer the money into the account - when you set it up you would have been given the bank details and unique reference for your child. Pay the money in the gov top up gets added a day or 2 later. Then you can set up a payment from there to your childcare provider - just search for them and again make sure they are away of your child’s ref number so they know whose bill allocate the money too.

Is everyone entitled to this?
