Childcare vouchers

Childcare vouchers

  • Overview

    If you were hired before October 2018, you can sacrifice part of your salary tax-free in return for vouchers you can use to pay for childcare.

    The vouchers can be used for:

    • Children who are 15 years of age or younger, and

    • Children who are 16 years of age, if disabled

    To obtain a voucher, you must be the child’s parent or guardian, and your preferred caregiver must be legally entitled and registered to care for children. The caregiver cannot be a member of your family.

    Important Note About Eligibility

    If you’re eligible and choose not to opt for the Iron Mountain childcare vouchers programme or the Tax-Free Childcare (TFC) account from the government, you’ll have one year to change your mind. If you join the TFC scheme, you will no longer be eligible for the childcare vouchers programme.
