ENABLE Scotland has had a childcare voucher scheme in place with Computershare Voucher Services since 1 October 2010. This scheme allows you to buy childcare vouchers to pay for registered childcare and save on tax and National Insurance. You make the saving because ENABLE Scotland pays for the vouchers on your behalf and then deducts the same amount from your gross salary, meaning that you pay less in tax and National Insurance.
So far, only a small number of staff have taken advantage of the childcare voucher scheme and we wanted to make sure that all staff are aware of it. There should be posters in your local office base about Computershare Voucher Services. If not, please speak to your manager about arranging for some to be sent.
Anyone who is interested can contact Computershare Voucher Services online or by telephone to buy the required childcare vouchers. If you receive working tax credits, you should always check with Computershare Voucher Services as to whether it would be in your interest to use childcare vouchers and the company can provide as much guidance as you need before you make a decision.
When contacting Computershare Voucher Services, you should quote the scheme ID number below and have a recent pay slip to hand.
There are no other charges for you to worry about and the system will be administered by Computershare Voucher Services, which has been providing this service to employers since 1998 and processes vouchers for 110,000 working parents within 14,000 organisations. All we ask is that you commit to buying vouchers for a minimum period of 6 months.
If you are interested, please contact Computershare Voucher Services and they will explain how the scheme works and how you would benefit.
