CHILDCARE ELEMENT OF WORKING TAX LOWERED TO 70%

31 replies

how on earth will this encourage single mothers back to work? I also hear the hours to qualify for working tax have been raised but yet they go on about how they want single mothers off benefit and into work
, how will making them pay more childcare and work more hours help?

Where does that leave me? Im a single mother working a 16hr contract (thats the longest contract that i can have where i work)

It was 80% before so effectively a 10% cut. The 24 hour rule applies to couples I think.

I can't find anything about it anywhere, are you sure?

also i thought childcare element was 66% before? I.e. you got two thirds paid and one third to pay?

Wouldn't that make it an increse to 70%?

? I will have to look into that but i work 16 hours and I have not been informed of any changes, shouldn't I have been if they have changed? Confused
