How Leapfrog Childcare Vouchers can help you...
The Leapfrog Childcare Voucher scheme is designed to allow you the flexibility and freedom to choose the method of childcare you prefer, whilst saving significant amounts on the actual cost of this care.
The scheme is very easy to participate in and involves you receiving part of your remuneration (up to a maximum of £55 per week or £243 per month) as Leapfrog Childcare Vouchers. This amount of your salary does not attract Tax or National Insurance contributions and therefore becomes a saving for you, leaving you with more disposable income.
The amount you save is dependant on your individual circumstances
• a basic rate taxpayer (22%) can save up to £962 per year
• a higher rate taxpayer (40%) can save up to £1196 per year
What's more, both parents can request to take part of their remuneration as Leapfrog Childcare Vouchers, therefore doubling the tax-free entitlement.
How can I use Leapfrog Childcare Vouchers?
