Increase the Tax-Free Childcare scheme to £4,000 per child per year
The average cost of childcare has risen, and we want the Government to increase the support parents can get through the Tax-Free Childcare scheme from £2,000 per child per year to £4,000, to reflect increasing childcare costs.
Depending on the part of the country you live in, full-time childcare can cost an average of £394.58 a week (£1,709.85 a month). This means the Tax-Free Childcare scheme won't always cover the full cost of childcare. By raising the annual entitlement, the Government can make sure this can more effectively make childcare costs tax free.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
