    Oh Dear: This is going to be interesting vat on private school fees

    Morning All,

    so, here we have it, we're not going to have Grammar Schools...

    and to make it even harder for those who would like to find any hope of giving their children a
    more fulfilling education than that offered in the comprehensive system,

    we're now going to add vat to school fees

    that's going to be painful

    thank you European Union that I live in a country which has the grammar school system and
    my children are at a state grammar school

    Milan.

    p.s. for those wishing to get with the programme, there's a great debate going on over in the
    grauniad comments...

    If Labour get into power then they will.

    Might as well promise a luminous monkey to all school children instead.

        yes, and if you really want to know,

        we had difficulty and went through fertility treatment and thankfully successful ivf.

        I am very sad for the ones who are not successful.

          Why isn't there VAT on school fees anyway?

          Free school meals for all doesn't sound like a terrible policy. In fact I'm sure the LibDems came out with that one a couple of years ago.
          Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

            Nice when it works out, and an extra lovely surprise when the children of a tape changer make it into a selective school

              Most private schools are 'charities' and charities are VAT exempt.

                  I googled and found a very confusing HMRC notice that sort of suggested that education is exempt, or maybe not. I don't seem to be paying VAT for German lessons, and the invoices have a VAT number.
