Urgent: VAT on Private School Fees Consultation Ending Soon
It has only recently come to light that H.M. Treasury has opened a consultation—created under the Labour Government—on imposing VAT on private school fees. Unfortunately, key contact information for submitting responses seems to be buried in the documents (refer to page 21 of the first PDF and page 3, item 22, of the third document linked below).

Many people remain unaware of this consultation, and the deadline for responses is this Sunday, 15th September—just days away!

This legislation will have a significant impact on private schools, their pupils, parents, and staff across our constituency. We urge you to express your opposition to this proposal and make your voice heard. Your input could influence the outcome.

Please consider sharing your view with the Government urgently. You can go directly to the Government website by clicking on the following link.

How can I respond in support of the manifesto commitment? I say this as a past parent of a well known boarding school.I do hope that the government goes to further, these institutions should no longer exist.
