Tax-Free Childcare is fairer and better targeted than the voucher scheme, as it covers a percentage of all childcare costs meaning parents who work longer hours and need more childcare are not disadvantaged. It is not possible to say how many families currently using Tax-free Childcare would be eligible for Employer-support Childcare, because that would depend on whether Employer-supported Childcare is offered by their employer, information which HMRC does not hold. Tax-free childcare does not depend on your employer offering the scheme \u2013 one of the reasons why it\u2019s fairer.<\/p>

<\/p>

Whereas currently around 600,000 families are in receipt of childcare vouchers, we estimate that 1.5 million families with childcare costs will be eligible for Tax-free Childcare. This means we estimate that Tax-free Childcare potentially supports 900,000 more families with the cost of childcare.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4097", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Elizabeth Truss"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South West Norfolk"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Elizabeth Truss"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-01-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-01-26T14:24:13.007Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "CaTreasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-01-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Children: Day Care"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 18 December 2017 to Question 118344, what estimate he has made of the number of families that receive a lower level of financial support from tax-free childcare than they would have received through childcare vouchers.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3930", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Caroline Lucas"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Brighton, Pavilion"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Caroline Lucas"} ], "uin" : "123676"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/824604", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "HM Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/824604/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Child Benefit rate is frozen for four tax years from 2016-17 to 2019-20 under the Welfare Reform and Work Act 2016. Between 1980 and 2014 spending on working-age welfare trebled in real terms.<\/p>
