Renfrewshire families are being reminded that they can save up to £2,000 a year on childcare costs with tax-free childcare.
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is encouraging families to find out more about tax-free childcare and check their eligibility via childcare choices.
Tax-free childcare can help working families pay for any approved childcare for children aged 11 or under, or 16 if the child has a disability – whether the child goes to nursery, a childminder, attends breakfast or after school club, has holiday care or goes to an out of school activity.
For every £8 paid into an online account, families will automatically receive an additional £2 from the government.
Parents can receive up to £500 every months (£2,000 a year), or £1,000 (£4,000 a year) if their child is disabled.
Opening a tax-free childcare account is simple and takes around 20 minutes.
A full list of the eligibility criteria is available by visiting GOV.UK
