Higher Education: Taxation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of introducing a levy on higher education provider income from international students.
Answered by Janet Daby
The immigration white paper sets out a series of measures that will achieve a reduction in net migration, while maintaining the UK’s globally competitive offer to international students and making a significant contribution to growth by boosting our skills base.
This includes the commitment to explore the introduction of a levy on higher education provider income from international students, with proceeds to be reinvested in the domestic higher education and skills system. We will set out more details around the levy in due course.
