National Insurance Contributions: Guidance for childcare

Employment Allowance is being increased to protect businesses by providing relief of up to £10,500 per annum on their employer Class 1 NICs liabilities from 6 April 2025. Early Years Childcare Providers are entitled to claim the Employment Allowance if they are private businesses or charities, and we expect the vast majority will be eligible to do so.

For further guidance to childcare providers on the relief available and eligibility rules see Further Guidance for Childcare
