childcare questions

[phleb]

Do NHS offer child care vouchers, and if so do i have to pay for them through my salary? my partner works 17 hours a week and i work only 15(with my new job), am i entitled to childcare tax credits. thank u

If you google 'child care tax credits' it comes up with all sorts of tables and calculators which should point you in the right direction.

Some do, but not all of them - and yes, you pay for them out of your pre-tax salary.

^ that should have read "some NHS employers do" - not all of them.

[factor-fiction]

Your employer should also be able to give you information on their voucher scheme

[boxtops]

Factor, they will, it will all be detailed in phleb's contract of employment (if they offer them)

only you can work out if you can get ctc as it goes on income as well as hrs worked - use one of the online calculators. Most nhs employers do the salary sacrifice vouchers. It's a shame as you are both only part time you cant work your shifts so you don't need childcare
