§ Chris RuaneTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what steps his Department has taken to publicise information on childcare vouchers to small and medium sized enterprises. [159268]
§ Dawn Primarolo[holding answer 5 March 2004]: The Inland Revenue will ensure that information and guidance to support the new tax exemption on child care vouchers is available to all employers before the changes are introduced in April 2005. Naturally, this will include all small and medium sized enterprises.
And, of course, the Chancellor himself has publicised the exemption by writing to all MPs on 16 December last year, and including an information sheet for Members to pass on to businesses in their constituencies.
