Closed Stop VAT being added to Private school fees

Closed on

Stop the charging of VAT on private schools fees. Government funds free schools, so therefore I think it should also be supporting private schools that hard working parents scrimp to pay for! I think supporting private schools increases places and facilities offered to state schools!

Adding VAT to private school fees could mean some successful schools closing, which could impact the state sector/SEN provision. I think closures could also reduce parents' democratic right of choice. It could also cut superb teachers' jobs and the jobs of other competent staff, along with building heritage.
