    Sorry, I dont understand.

    The maximum you can sacrifice through these schemes is £243 per person, so if both parents are offered the scheme, it is possible to get upto £486 worth of vouchers.

    The saving depends on whether you are a basic rate taxpayer or a higher rate taxpayer.

    The figures I quoted above (£243Gross = £167Net) are correct in respects to a basic rate taxpayer.
    As a higher rate taxpayer (£243Gross = £143Net)

    You start to pay higher rate at earnings over £43,875.

    Cheers mitchaa, sorry I didnt make myself clear but youve answered my question! Thanks again
