childcare

Is childcare a business activity for VAT purposes?

Dear Charlie, Many thanks for the last reply to my previous question.

I have another query. I rang HMRC but I still need clarification on VAT on capital projects related to childcare, and also where providers are either dual registered (charitable company) or unincorporated charities - what is the situation as regards VAT in capital and revenue projects?

Any assistance / pointers would be appreciated.

Childminder resources

Dear Sir / Madam, I am trying to look at a package of support that self employed childminders may require, everything from basic financial planning to organising themseleves for annual returns. I gathered resources from the usual sources (I think) but was wondering in particular if there are any other resources that you may be aware of. In particular any self help templates for financial calculations i.e. costing a service etc. Any help / signposting very much appreciated. Kind regards Ronan

Volunteers, childcare expenses, and the minimum wage

A recently-published government report on volunteering is suggesting that if a volunteer has her/his childcare costs reimbursed, this is not a legitimate "expense" but is essentially a financial benefit.
