Hi all,
Can anyone suggest a quick and HMRC friendly way of claiming children food costs for a Childminder who has not kept any food receipts all year....?
Is it ok to work out a crude amount, eg £2 per day per child?
Thoughts appreciated.

I would work on that basis with the agreement of the client and advise them that in the case of an inspection the figure must be justified.0

Can they not justify by how much they are paying now? In case of an enquiry it should then be the same as the current year - ish.0

My little girl has breakfast, lunch, high tea, and 2 X snacks in nursery every day. If a child is having 5 meals a day then I would suggest that the cost per child could be higher than £2.
My organisation does the bookkeeping for a playgroup - the kids here only have a snack (fruit/drink) and we cost that at £1.10 a head.0 -
Thanks all - much appreciated. You're stars (I mean that).
I am going to recommend that shes takes the reasonable estimate approach this year. £4 per day per child if breakfast , lunch and tea. And then suggest that she does a sample 2 two weeks on current food bills to look at the cost and use that moving forward.0
