Did anyone else notice this article in today's Telegraph ?
Sounds like next weeks' pre budget report is going to make employer supported (not just provided) childcare tax-free - albeit at a not-what it really-costs limit of £50/week.
Shame it's still going to be so reliant on the co-operation of employers though, as I bet a lot of people will still miss out if their employers can't be bothered to do it. There needs to be a tax break for the employers too to give them an incentive to offer it.
Obviously all the details haven't been released yet, but the original consultation document is here , and a summary of the responses here .
If this is true, we'll certainly be lobbying DH's employers to take it up (mine does Childcare Vouchers anyway, but (surprise, surprise) our childcare costs more than £50/week).
