Private Education: VAT
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much revenue the Exchequer has raised by the introduction of VAT on school fees.
Answered by Department for Education
Together, the reforms to VAT and business rates will raise around £1.8 billion a year by 2029/30. These measures will raise essential revenue that will be invested in our public services, such as our £3.7 billion increase to school funding in 2025/26. This takes core school funding to £65.3 billion, compared to £61.6 billion in 2024/25.
