NHS Tayside participates in the Childcare Voucher Scheme. Childcare vouchers are an easy way to pay for certain types of childcare. If you are using registered or approved childcare, you can choose to take part of your salary in Childcare Vouchers (this is known as salary sacrifice) which allows you to take advantage of tax and National Insurance savings. Childcare vouchers are not just for babies – they can be used to pay for the care of children up to the age of 16 years including:
- Home based care such as childminders, nannies and au pairs
- Pre-school care such as nursery schools, play schools and crèches
- Care for older children such as out of school clubs (breakfast clubs, after school clubs), boarding if invoiced separately to school fees and holiday clubs.
