Schools: Uniforms
(asked on 29th June 2022) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to remove VAT from school uniforms.
This question was answered on 11th July 2022
Under the current VAT rules, all children’s clothing and footwear designed for young children who are less than 14 years of age, including school uniforms, attract a zero-rate of VAT, meaning that no VAT is charged on the sale of these items.
The UK is one of only two countries among the 37 OECD member countries to maintain a VAT relief for children’s clothing.
