<p>The Government’s Childcare offer targets greater levels of support at those on
lower incomes, but also offers support to parents with middle and higher incomes,
who may also struggle with the cost of childcare.</p><p> </p><p>Childcare costs are
taken into account when Universal Credit and tax credits are calculated, and these
benefits offer more generous support with childcare costs (up to 70% under tax credits
or up to 85% under Universal Credit) than Tax-Free Childcare to families on lower
incomes.</p><p> </p><p>Parents who receive tax credits or Universal Credit can choose
whether to continue receiving those benefits or to apply for Tax-Free Childcare.</p><p>
</p><p>More information on the help that parents can get with childcare costs can
