MONEYMATTERS CHILD CARE -MARTIN LEWIS

If you’re not entitled to tax credits, decide now which other scheme works for you

This is where everything is changing. If you’re eligible for tax credits, you’re likely to be better off getting that. If not, there are other schemes to look at.

This autumn, the new ‘tax-free childcare’ scheme launches and the current childcare vouchers scheme that lets many pay for childcare from their pre-tax income will close for new applicants. So if you’re eligible for vouchers, but won’t be for the new scheme, get in quick.

- New tax-free childcare scheme: If you’re a single parent who works, or a couple where BOTH work, and you each earn under £150,000, for every 80p you put in a new childcare account, the government will add 20p on top which can be used to pay for Ofsted approved (or equivalent) childcare for under-12s. The maximum the Government will contribute is £2,000 per child per year.

Most childminders, after-school clubs are Ofsted approved, as are many nannies.

- Current childcare voucher scheme. Here you usually trade in your pre-tax salary for vouchers. For example, a basic-rate taxpayer can swap £1,000 of salary, which after tax and National Insurance is only £700ish in your pay packet, for £1,000 in childcare vouchers. So you’re up £300 per £1,000.

The maximum you can get is £55/week per year per parent, which would be a gain of £930 for a basic-rate taxpayer. Any parent can do this, even if their partner doesn’t work, provided your employer offers it (many do, but many don’t). Yet if you’re not signed up to this by the time the new scheme starts, you can’t do it after. So if it’s right for you – sort it soon.

- Tax-free childcare vs childcare vouchers. If you’re a couple where only one works, the vouchers win hands down, as you won’t be eligible for the new scheme. Plus, if your childcare costs are low, it’s likely vouchers win due to the tax and National Insurance savings.

Yet for the self-employed, those whose firms don’t offer the vouchers, or those with more than one child and high childcare costs, the new scheme wins. This is just the tip of the icebergCall – full of which 0161analysis 877 9500

By Martin Lewis @moneysavingexpert

This is an important warning for anyone who pays for childcare. There are major changes due to take place to the system this year – and you need to decide rather soon how they affect you. If you leave it too late, you could miss out on thousands of pounds.

Are you eligible for childcare tax credits?

The most important start point is to check if you’re entitled to what’s technically called the ‘Childcare Element of Working Tax Credit’ – this is NOT the same as Child Tax Credit. You can usually claim it for children up to age 15, provided you pay for approved (Ofsted or equivalent) childcare.

Sadly the eligibility criteria are very complex. So I’ve tried to distil it in a simple rule of thumb: ‘if you’re a single parent working 16+ hours a week, or a couple BOTH working 16+ hours a week, and your total household income is under £46,000, you should definitely check out if you’re entitled.’

Please read this carefully – I’m not saying you are entitled, just that it is worth checking, as this is big money. The average pay out is around £60/week. That’s over £3,000/year.

PARENTING MATTERS

STARTING SCHOOL - MRS J NEMETH

Q: A:

Back to School!

What are the best approaches I can adopt in order that my child achieves his/her full potential?

Great question; how long have you got?!

Although you are not there by the side of your child during his school day, there is so much you can do to ensure he can get the most out of school, pick up all the lessons and return home fulfilled and happy.

The most important approach to have is to let you know you are there for your child. This is the best foundation in life that your child can have, and there are a number of ways you can do this.

Let’s start with the mornings: what are they like? Well, maybe don’t answer that….but use the adage “fail to plan, plan to fail ….”. Now’s the time to start to plan how your child can go off every (or most) mornings feeling secure, happy and confident. All it takes is for you to prepare the night before and ensure his uniform is ready, and breakfast is ready to go. Then

he can go off in the morning with his bag packed, sandwiches made, forms signed, homework done etc. And maybe, if you can, a little note tucked into his lunchbox or school bag sending love and wishing him a great day! It’s these little things that count.

And what messages does your child take with you through the day? These are the messages that you have imparted during the holidays or during the last year. Does he feel that Mummy will support him when he comes home from school or criticise him for not being the top? Does he feel that as soon as he comes home he has to fight for his place to get a word in edgeways or that he will have his space to talk to you and share his day? Will he come home to in inviting supper and also have a quiet space to do his homework? Again, it’s those little things that count.

Building your child’s self-esteem during your contact times gives your child the confidence to forge ahead and succeed. How does this happen?

Imagine an empty glass. This is the glass that holds self-esteem.

What you are aiming to do is to fill this glass with your child’s successes by building on his strengths and giving him opportunities to perform what

he does best – whether this is in the arts, helping around the home or indeed anything he is good at. Giving children opportunities to succeed on their inborn talents fills up that cup. When that cup is full the process continues – but now your child has the confidence to push himself outside his comfort zone – try those harder maths questions, volunteer to speak in public, offer himself as a monitor. Once the cup is full, he will not only be willing to try something new but will also flourish in social circles – and even be able to withstand the bully should one creep into his environment.

And now it’s hometime. It’s great if you’re able to be home for them every day, but even if you’re not, leave a note or a little treat just to show that you9500 wish you Call 0161 877 were there……

For Practical No-Nonsense

Debt Advice When you do Or email: warren@wolfsonlaw.co.uk see your child, for sure you can ask the question “and how was school today….?” But

Fail to plan,

Plan to fail

don’t always expect an answer, or certainly not immediately.

Asking the question leaves the door open for your child to share if he wants to. However what he really want to do is just be home, play, chill and not be interrogated about his day. And what does he really need?

Plenty of encouragement, catching him being good and And What About Me? doing the right thing and commenting on this.

Now home is a haven. Home is a break from school. Home is a place when I can

“grumble the most, but

am treated the best.”

And if your child does complain about something in school – the tool you need is empathy. Show that you hear

(PLACE HOLDER IMAGE) and understand his viewpoint but remember his teacher needs your support as well so your child knows that he needs to respect and honour his teacher at all times – and that will be the biggest key to his success.

May everyone have a great school year ahead!

can select their own shadchan (or more than one) with whom they can meet and discuss what they are looking for. The Shadchan will then be able to search for them on the database and make suggestions. If a single accepts a suggestion, the Shadchan can facilitate contact, help to arrange dates, act as a ‘go-between’, help to discuss issues that may come up along the way or, where appropriate, refer people for advice to a Professional dating mentor. Every single also has the option of having their profile viewed either by their selected shadchan only or by numerous (or all) shadchanim on site, giving every single the opportunity to have suggestions from many other sources - an incredible resource in finding one’s bashert!

LAUNCH EVENT OF

Interview with our Events Team and Matchmakers; Georga Goldberg & Shira Kruskal

Tell us a little more about your event

This upcoming singles event is for anyone that is shomer shabbat and is aged between 20-40.

We already have signed up singles from across the UK and Europe, that is why we have made the event from 4-7pm, to give anyone from outside London a chance to attend. We

have organised this event for non-members too to enable us to reach a wider audience. The event is very easy to sign up to through our website. We stress that pre-booking is essential as there is limited space.

Why have you put together this event?

We have heard from many of our singles that there are limited opportunities to meet people outside their immediate social and work circles. This event provides our singles the opportunity to meet people from outside their chevra and, as well, importantly gives our shadchanim a chance to meet those attending and get to

know them better so that future suggestions are appropriate.

In addition, our counterpart; ‘Saw You at Sinai’, has run many similar events in the USA and have seen much success from these events.

We hope this will be the first event of many for shidduch.im and we already have something up our sleeve for the next one!

Why did you both join SHIDDUCH.IM as matchmakers?

and SYAS and saw first-hand how successful this was.

Being able to join shidduch.im has given us the opportunity to meet and access many more singles beyond our immediate circles.

Lastly, we encourage everyone to sign up to the event and let other people know about it; it will be an opportunity to meet other singles and our matchmakers as well as find out more about shidduch.im and how we can help you!

We both know many singles and we wanted to help them find their other half! We also knew friends who had met their bashert through shidduch.im
