What is employer-supported childcare?
This is support for your childcare costs that is offered by your employer (if they have opted to run a scheme in your workplace). Employer-supported childcare refers to childcare vouchers, a workplace nursery, or directly-contracted childcare. However, although it may be possible for you to claim both the childcare element of Working Tax Credit and employer-supported childcare at the same time, you will generally not be able to benefit from both systems to help with your childcare costs, as any amounts will be included in any calculations and will reduce any amount you are eligible to receive.
