PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Private Education: Fees and Charges (28 June 2017)

Question Asked

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the revenue that would be generated by introducing VAT on private school fees.

Asked by:
Alex Burghart (Conservative)

Answer

Private school fees are currently exempt from VAT. This is in line with EU law, which does not enable us to apply VAT to all private school fees. Until we have left the EU, the UK will remain a member of the EU with all of the rights and obligations that membership entails.
