Child Tax Credits
What can childcare vouchers and child tax account funds be used to pay for?
In relation to the services that we provide, we are aware that in the past HMRC has accepted tax advantaged funds to be used to pay for the following:
Children in years reception to year 6 inclusive:
The compulsory core school hours are from 08.45 to 15.45 Monday to Friday during each term time day, excluding public holidays, inset days and therefore all charges relating to these periods are regarded as non-qualifying with the associated charges not to be funded from tax advantaged funds.
For other periods, such as the start and finish of the school day and school holiday periods, charges are likely to be regarded as qualifying and eligible for payment from tax advantaged sources:
From 07.30 to 08.00 each school day at a rate of £20.00 per hour (this rate is double the normal rate to reflect the unsociable hours aspect of these optional childcare services
From 08.00 to 08.45 each school day at a rate of £7.50 per hour for childcare services
From 15.45 to 18.00 each school day at a rate of £7.50 per hour for childcare services
The day rate of £36.45 for non-term time childcare services
The additional costs of any associated trips and activities during after school periods or non-term time.
In summary, for children of school age, 3 hours of childcare at £7.50 per hour and the additional £15.00 for the additional hour at the start of the day, if utilised, are regarded as qualifying. In addition, the full charges of £36.45 per day for non-term time and any additional activity charges associated with these periods are also regarded as qualifying expenditure.
It is the responsibility of the tax free childcare/childcare voucher user to ensure that any charges that do not qualify for payment from tax advantaged funds are not paid from childcare vouchers or child tax account funds.
Admission Fees
Although we try to keep additional charges and administration costs as low as possible, we do charge additional fees for admission:
- Administration fee of £50 per child to enrol at the School (non-refundable)
- Acceptance of a School place £500 per child, (refundable when a child leaves Our Lady’s Prep School and where a term’s notice is given and all fees are paid up to date)
- A top up fee of £300 per child for the reservation of a place in Reception who previously registered for a Nursery place only (refundable)
