RSS briefing - childcare (Members only)
publication date 11 April 2005

This contains brief updates on a number of issues: childcare vouchers; childcare in the home; and the civil service childcare toolkit (Amended May 2005 to make it clear that the Childcare Approval Scheme only applies in England.)

Childcare vouchers and salary sacrifice schemes (Members only)
RSS briefing, re-issued April 2005

Childcare vouchers are often offered as part of a salary sacrifice scheme, which means that employees agree to exchange part of their salary for the equivalent in vouchers. Originally issued in June 2004, this briefing was updated in April 2005. This reflects a change to the scheme which makes childcare vouchers up to the value of £50 per week free from tax and National Insurance Contributions (NICs).
