Sorry for complete ignorance but is there any tax benefits from school fees in uk? I. e. offsetting against income. etc. Just wondered because thought paying private fees on top of taxes seem double paying for education...

No but you have the choice not to pay for education. School fees currently not VATable but who knows when/if this might change.

No, like pretty much all expenditure it comes out of your taxed income.

Well yes I suppose it is, but you don't get the National Health Service money back if you go private, so why would you for schools?
