Accessing the New Tax-Free Childcare Scheme
If you are a childcare provider, you must sign up to the Tax-Free Childcare scheme. By completing this process parents who have successfully applied for Tax-Free Childcare can make payments direct to you.
The Tax-Free Childcare scheme is part of the government’s long-term plan to support working families.
To sign up, you must be registered with a regulator (Ofsted)
How to sign up
If you are the main contact for the childcare provider you will firstly need to complete the sign-up process; you will however at a later stage be able to nominate a delegate to act on behalf of you.
The process only takes around 10 minutes
What you will need to sign up:
- User ID which was issued on your sign up letter
- Your business bank account details
If you are a childcare provider based in the UK, you will also need:
- Your business’ Unique Taxpayer Reference.
- The postcode that this reference number is registered to.
- If you don’t have a Unique Taxpayer Reference then use your National Insurance Number
