Open Reverse application of 20% VAT to independent schools

Created by CONNIE CHOY
Closes on

With the recent policy decision to apply 20% VAT on independent schools, we believe this additional burden on tax paying parents has had significant impact on the education system & caused the closure of schools with great history, legacy & value.

As a parent, I want the Government to reverse this immediately.

One of the great schools being hit hard by this recent policy decision is St Joseph's College, Reading. Please help to save our school by removing VAT on all independent schools.
