New childcare tax break to be announced by the Government today - what do you think?

David Cameron and Nick Clegg are due to unveil new childcare plans in a joint press conference today, with further detail expected to follow next week.

According to reports, families could be entitled to claim up to £2,000 per child every year from their tax bills, to cover the cost of childminders and nurseries as part of a new government scheme to help families.

The new measures will not be means tested, and will replace the current voucher and allowances scheme.

We'd be interested to hear what you think of these proposed changes, particularly in the light of the changes to child benefit which have been implemented today.

Thanks,

MNHQ

Hello

Many thanks for all the posts - interesting reading.

Nobody outside the government is quite sure why this announcement wasn't made yesterday - although there are some hints in press coverage today that this might be down to internal Coalition disagreement over the policy.

It looks likely that some sort of announcement on childcare funding will be made in the near future, so do please keep letting us know what you think.
