Childcare: Taxation
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many families exceeded the tax-free childcare cap in each year since 2017.
Answered by James Murray
Families cannot exceed the limits within their Tax Free Childcare accounts because the system automatically restricts government top-ups once the cap for the 3 month period is reached. Families can still make payments to childcare providers from their account without the top-up.
Official statistics on Tax-Free Childcare are published quarterly and further details can be found at:
