Private Education: VAT
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether she has made a recent estimate of the number of private schools which have increased fees due to the introduction of VAT.
Answered by Olivia Bailey
Private school fees and finances are a matter for private schools, as private businesses. Schools decide for themselves how to manage their finances including, for example the additional cost of VAT, the impact of the national minimum wage and in relation to any pay award they may choose to make.
