Increase in maternity tax deduction only applies to months where childcare costs are paid directly

The inquirer asks whether they can apply the increase in the maternity tax deduction for childcare expenses paid by their company through flexible remuneration. The DGT rules that these months do not count towards the increase because they are considered exempt benefits in kind, and only months in which the married couple pays the expenses directly can be included.

In 6 key points

How it affects those involved

Taxpayers using flexible remuneration for childcare may not qualify for the increased maternity deduction for those specific months, as the benefit is treated as an exempt benefit in kind rather than a direct expense.
