therefore better off under the old scheme, until they are spending £12,247.20 a year on childcare. ● Additional rate tax payer calculations – With the old scheme parents can buy £110 of CCVs each month, so a total of £2,640.00 for the year if both are additional rate tax payers. This means that they can pay for £2,640.00 of childcare, but it only costs them £1,399.20, as

there is a combined tax and NICs saving of £1,240.80. The new TFC system is not available to parents who earn more than £100,000 a year. This means that additional rate tax payers who are unable to sign up to a voucher scheme will be up to £1,240.80 worse off a year. If they signed up for CCVs before April 2011, and have not left the scheme at any point since this date, they are eligible

to buy £243 worth of vouchers a month, so a combined amount of £5,832.00 a year. The combined tax and NICs saving is £2,741.04, meaning that for a net cost of £3,090.96, they can pay for £5,832.00 of childcare. As they do not have access to the new scheme, unless they can remain in the old voucher scheme they will be missing out on a saving of up to £2,741.04 a year. n
