uin	13065
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/02/2020 answer text <p>Tax-Free Childcare is accessible UK-wide. It provides the same level of support to parents - 20% of childcare costs up to a cap of £2000 per child per year - regardless of the region in which they live. Therefore, the spending in Northern Ireland is not pre-allocated and will depend on the uptake of the service in Northern Ireland.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 12/02/2020 16:01:46 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2020 answer text <p>Tax-Free Childcare is available to all parents that earn above the equivalent of 16 hours per week at minimum wage and below £100k. It is therefore available to working parents regardless of where they work and includes the self-employed, making it fairer and more accessible than the offer it replaces – childcare vouchers. It is also paid per child rather than per parent, so lone parents can access the same support as couples, and parents get more support as their childcare costs rise.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has committed to carry out a post-implementation review, two years after the implementation of Tax-Free Childcare to evaluate the impact of the scheme, including on the labour market.</p><p> </p><p>Details on Tax-Free Childcare usage up to September 2019 can be found in the official statistics publication. <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/tax-free-childcare-statistics-september-2019" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/tax-free-childcare-statistics-september-2019</a></p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 03/02/2020 13:06:20 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak
