You pay your money, you take your choice surely?

im taxed on mine on my P11D, which I think takes into account my tax band.

then that’s a mistake

IPT on health insurance is 12%
0% on permanent health insurance

It was that shockingly bad post about the boy fishing that made me think about it that way. I have private cover through work. It’s nice. I jump the queue, I don’t have to sit with the proles if I need anything. But I could also opt out and keep the £ as salary. Can’t see why school fees are different.

It's pretty close. I hadn't thought about it that way.
