The profile of spending on the Childcare Element of Universal Credit in 2018/19 was £100 million1. As the volume of claimants with children on legacy benefits decreases as they move to Universal Credit, spending on childcare will increase accordingly. Spending on child-related benefits administered by HMRC are shown in the table below. <table><tbody><tr><td> </td><td>2018-19</td></tr><tr><td>Child Tax Credit (excluding childcare element)2</td><td>£18.0 billion</td></tr><tr><td>Tax Free Childcare 3</td><td>£117 million</td></tr><tr><td>Child Benefit 3</td><td>£11.5 billion</td></tr></tbody></table> Notes: <ol><li>The Universal Credit spending is derived from internal DWP models, and costs have been rounded to the nearest £100 million.</li><li>Total Child Tax Credits comes from HMRC 2018-19 Annual Report and Accounts. This is reduced by an estimate of the value that relates to the childcare element which is subject to a degree of uncertainty.</li><li>From HMRC Receipts statistics.</li></ol>
