Written Question

Private Education: VAT

Monday 14th October 2024

Asked by: Marie Goldman (Liberal Democrat - Chelmsford)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will make an estimate of the potential impact of introducing VAT on independent school fees on the number of children taking up sports scholarships.

Answered by Stephen Morgan - Government Whip, Lord Commissioner of HM Treasury

While details of the government’s assessment of the expected impacts of introducing VAT on private school fees will be published at the Budget in the usual way, the government does not collect figures on scholarships, bursaries and other financial support offered by private schools. There are therefore no plans to make an assessment of the impact on the number of children taking up sports scholarships.
