Chief executive of the Independent Schools Council (ISC), Julie Robinson, warns that Labour’s proposal to charge VAT on independent school fees is a further tax on hard-working parents, who are striving to do the best for their children.
ISC chief executive Julie Robinson said: “Labour’s proposal to charge VAT on independent school fees will have the greatest impact on the families who work the hardest to pay the fees. These parents are striving to do the best for their children and often sacrifice other spending to pay school fees - their right to make choices over education should not be undermined by a tax on aspiration.
