VAT on state school “after school clubs”?

[Mayflower282]

There’s going to be VAT on paid for “after school clubs” right? Does that apply for both private and state? Or just private?

also VAT on school trips? Private & state?

Not sure where you heard that. Probably someone in a private school trying to wind people up?

Wrong.

Nope. Are they a luxury akin to schooling?

Is this another whinging private school parent thread?

Oh my god, I would willingly pay VAT on wraparound care if it would make the private school parents stop fucking whining.

We could start a Go fund me …

Seriously? 🙄

Daily Mail click bait?

Don’t be silly

You mean wrap around for non private schools? Fine by me. I get tax free childcare for it anyway so I'm happy to pay the "full" price. It's well worth it.

Oh great, more scaremongering. I will never understand the private school isn't a luxury argument. These threads are always full of comments akin to "My parents weren't rich, they sacrificed to send me to private school. We drove an old car and had no holidays abroad!" It's completely tone deaf in the cost of living crises. If a family has £18,000 of disposable income by driving an older car or having a summer getaway in Brighton they are still doing far better financially than a large percentage of parents in the UK right now.

I think OP is someone from a private school trying to wind people up.

Is your info from a reliable source, OP?

Of course it isn't.

The document which accompanied the change specifically excluded breakfast and after school clubs. After school and weekend extra curricular clubs - swimming lessons, dance and drama clubs etc are already VATable if the provider is large enough to pay VAT.

Just more scaremongering.
