The current implementation correctly caps the tax-free childcare contribution by the actual childcare expenses in tax_free_childcare_benefits_amount.py, but there's no check that these expenses are paid to qualifying/registered childcare providers.

According to the legislation, only payments to registered and approved childcare providers qualify for the scheme.

Suggested improvement:

  • Create a new variable to track whether childcare expenses are paid to qualifying providers
  • Add this as a condition in the tax-free childcare eligibility check
  • Consider adding parameters to define qualifying provider types
