Point in time view as at 01/04/2010. This version of this provision has been superseded.
You are viewing this legislation item as it stood at a particular point in time. A later version of this or provision, including subsequent changes and effects, supersedes this version.
Note the term provision is used to describe a definable element in a piece of legislation that has legislative effect – such as a Part, Chapter or section.
Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, Section 270A is up to date with all changes known to be in force on or before 27 August 2024. There are changes that may be brought into force at a future date. Changes that have been made appear in the content and are referenced with annotations.
Changes and effects yet to be applied by the editorial team are only applicable when viewing the latest version or prospective version of legislation.

(1)If qualifying childcare vouchers are provided for an [F2employee—
(a)no liability to income tax arises by virtue of section 62 (general definition of earnings), and
(b)liability to income tax by virtue of Chapter 4 of Part 3 (taxable benefits: vouchers and credit tokens) arises only in respect of so much of the cash equivalent of the benefit as exceeds the exempt amount.]
(2)A “qualifying childcare voucher” means a non-cash voucher in relation to which Conditions A to C are met.
(3)Condition A is that the voucher is provided to enable an employee to obtain care for a child who—
(a)is a child or stepchild of the employee and is maintained (wholly or partly) at the employee’s expense, or
(b)is resident with the employee and is a person in respect of whom the employee has parental responsibility.
(4)Condition B is that the voucher can only be used to obtain qualifying child care.
(5)Condition C is that the vouchers are provided under a scheme that is open—
(a)to the employer’s employees generally, or
(b)generally to those at a particular location.
(6)For the purposes of this section the “exempt amount”, in any tax year, is [F3the sum of—
(a)[F4£55] for each qualifying week in that year, and
(b)the voucher administration costs for that year.]
[F5(6A)The “voucher administration costs” for any tax year in respect of which qualifying childcare vouchers are provided for an employee means the difference between the cost of provision of the vouchers and their face value.
The face value of a voucher is the amount stated on or recorded in the voucher as the value of the provision of care for a child that may be obtained by using it.]
(7)A “qualifying week” means a tax week in respect of which a qualifying childcare voucher is received.
A “tax week” means one of the successive periods in a tax year beginning with the first day of that year and every seventh day after that (so that the last day of a tax year or, in the case of a tax year ending in a leap year, the last two days is treated as a separate week).
(8)An employee is only entitled to one exempt amount even if care is provided for more than one child.
But it does not matter that another person may also be entitled to an exempt amount in respect of the same child.
(9)An employee is not entitled to an exempt amount under this section and under section 318A (limited exemption for employer-contracted childcare) in respect of the same tax week.
(10)In this section “care”, “child”, “parental responsibility” and “qualifying child care” have the same meaning as in section 318A (see sections 318B and 318C).
[F6(10A)In this section “ cost of provision”, in relation to a childcare voucher, has the meaning given in section 87(3) and (3A).]
(11)The powers conferred by section 318D (childcare: power to vary exempt amount and qualifying conditions) are exercisable—
(a)in relation to the exempt amount specified in subsection (6) above as in relation to the exempt amount specified in section 318A(6), and
(b)in relation to the qualifying conditions for the exemption conferred by this section as in relation to the qualifying conditions for the exemption conferred by section 318A.]

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.
