Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what details of the new Tax-Free Childcare scheme his Department has sent to all Ofsted-registered childcare providers.

HMRC and HMT have actively engaged with childcare providers and industry representatives since the scheme was first announced and continue to do so as it moves towards implementation. HMRC has also established an implementation advisory forum to support the delivery of Tax-Free Childcare, on which the childcare sector is well represented, and is working closely with regulators

In addition, draft guidance on the scheme was published for comment in October 2014 https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/draft-legislation-tax-free-childcare-draft-guidance . Further information will be issued well ahead of the launch of the scheme.
