Taking childcare vouchers may influence Tax Credits. Because every family's situation is different, we can't comment on your individual circumstances, but HM Revenue & Customs have a Tax Credits helpline on 0345 300 3900 which may help you decide what is best for your family. They also have an online tool to help you decide whether you'll be better off with childcare vouchers. www.gov.uk/childcare-vouchers-better-off-calculator for HMRC's ‘Childcare vouchers and tax credits better off calculator'.
Please note, that whilst you are entitled to childcare vouchers and can also claim Tax Credits, under the new Tax-Free Childcare (TFC) scheme, parents in receipt of Tax Credits / Universal Credit are not permitted to join TFC.
