If your employer contributes towards some or all of your child care costs through salary sacrificing or salary packaging, you will normally not be able to receive Government Child Care Benefit and or Child Care Rebate!
According to FAO, where an employer is liable for all the child care fees of an employee under a salary sacrificing arrangement, it is not possible for the employee to be eligible for CCB. According to ATO, you cannot claim CCR if your employer provided you with a child care service on their business premises under a salary sacrifice arrangement.
Put it simply, salary sacrifice (packaging) is a before tax payment. If you are actually salary sacrificing your child care fees (ie paying them in pre-tax dollars), the liability to make the payment is shifted from you to your employer. This means you are no longer entitled to CCB and CCR as you are already receiving a reduced taxable income as a result of the salary sacrifice.
Please note: With some non-profit organizations you can both salary sacrifice child care fees and claim CCR and/or CCB.
The Child Care Rebate covers 50 per cent of out-of-pocket child care expenses for approved child care, with a rebate of up to $7,778 (indexed) per child per year, for eligible families.
Out-of-pocket expenses are the total fees you had to pay for child care expenses for approved care, less the amount of Child Care Benefit and Jobs, Education and Training Child Care fee assistance (if applicable) you received.
