Military wrap around childcare

Just wondering if anyone has experience with wrap around childcare? I will keep it brief. We pay for private school fees and my daughter meets criteria for wrap around childcare. I receive one invoice for all school fees but the tax free childcare account can only pay for the wrap around fees. Does anyone else have this problem or a solution?

You will likely need to request a separate invoice from the school for the before/after school care that you pay for. You will also need to pay the school via a Tax Free Childcare account to recieve the 20% government tax payment. Then to make your claim (either monthly or by term) you will need to input on JPA the number of hours of childcare and the invoice amount. There is a capped hourly rate. You will need to keep invoices and screenshots of your Tax Free Childcare account payments for audit purposes.

Apologies - I've just re-read your post. I assumed you were wanting to claim back the costs of your WAC via the military scheme but your question wad more about paying via TFC. I'd speak to the school finance office to see if you can be invoiced separately and whether they can receive payment via TFC.
