Private Education: Fees and Charges
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of VAT on independent school fees on state school capacity.
Answered by Olivia Bailey
HM Treasury published a Tax Information and Impact Note (TIIN) on applying VAT to independent school fees, which includes the government’s estimations of the number of pupils expected to enter the state sector as a result of this policy. The TIIN can be accessed here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/vat-on-private-school-fees/applying-vat-to-private-school-fees#who-is-likely-to-be-affected.
