finleysmaid Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 does anyone know if the current system will stop or will the companies already providing still be involved? (eg edenred/care4 etc) Quote
FSFRebecca Posted December 5, 2016 Author Posted December 5, 2016 Their names haven't been mentioned at any of the meetings I have been to - HMRC said (at the NDNA South meeting) that parents would go on themselves to the HMRC 'account' no mention of anyone else and they would link themselves to their provider who has registered separately and then monies paid in by parents would be increased by 20% (up to £2000) and then released out of that account to the provider..... so I can't see where Edenred et al fit in to that??

MagicStar Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 As far as I understand, parents already using Childcare Vouchers will continue to be able to do so, should they wish. However, new parents will have to use the new Tax Free Childcare account. 1 Quote
finleysmaid Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Ah a bit of an update on this!! if you are a registered charity you will not be able to register on the TFChildcare site until mid feb. Apparently they will ring you and deal with you then (as they don't know how to organise this at the moment !!...this is a quote from them!) As a charity you will have a UTR but it contains letter which are not recognised on the system Hope this helps! Quote
MagicStar Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Oops! I think the developers of the website missed a trick. Quote
Mouseketeer Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Thanks for the update finleysmaid, do you know if I have to phone them or will they just know we are a charity and resend the letter to register later ? Quote

zigzag Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 We were told by our LA to ring them and then they will be in touch when they have it sorted! Quote

Mouseketeer Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) apparently THEY will ring you...well at least that's what they are saying (at the setting!)Thanks again FM, I did phone, straight through, they took some details and said they'd contact me when they were ready. If phoning them have ready: Charity number, ofsted URN, PAYE rreference and ID number quoted on the letter they sent telling you to register :-) One thing sorted and then the next payroll letter turns up :-( Edited December 6, 2016 by Mouseketeer Quote
Guest Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Further update... We are also a charity, and therefore couldn't initially register. I rang them in October and they took down my details. I have now just received a letter from them telling me what the charity's Unique Taxpayer Reference is - so theoretically I should now be able to register. Quote
finleysmaid Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 ah yes we also have just contacted them. Can i suggest that anyone wanting to sign up rings them and makes sure your details are on their system...they should be sending out UTR's out shortly to charity settings! Quote
Guest Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Just registered successfully - only takes 5 mins (once you have a UTR!) Quote
Rea Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Oh **@~:;'#^%^*^&*^% ! I'd forgotten about this. Did I register? Did they send me a letter? I was too tired for this years ago, hence my resignation letter in 2005!! More things to check! 1 Quote
