This element will help with up to 80% of your childcare costs up to a maximum of £175 per week for one child and £300 per week for two or more children. You may be entitled to the childcare element if:
- You are a load parent and work at least 16 hours per week.
- You are part of a couple and you both work 16 hours or more a week.
- You are part of a couple and one of you works at least 16 hours and the other is ill, disabled or in prison.
You cannot get help with childcare through Tax Credits if you are not working enough hours to qualify for Working Tax Credit.
