Osborne: Tax free childcare means up to £1,200 back
Chancellor George Osborne said the Government is looking at tax breaks which would offer a tax break for money spent on childcare by working families.
According to a Government consultation, the scheme would be run through online voucher accounts, with tax-free childcare worth up to £1,200 per child, per year.
In autumn 2015, children born in or after September 2010 would be eligible in families where all parents are in work, with each earning less than £150,000 per year.
