    Glad we can finally plug the £500-per-day-taxi-for-each-schoolchild funding gap.

    Roughly £50k per school per year just from VAT money.

    Not going to be world changing but welcome when schools are basically broke.

    But I was told that this would have some random opposite effect reducing equity somehow.

    The rebalance is happening.

    Any arguments against the rebalance are rich selfish people.

    I don’t like Starmer btw but feeding the rich for 14 years has left us on our knees in the public sector.

    Good! Glad to see Labour doing something right for once.

    Did no one here notice that if schools are being chatted VAT, they can claim VAT back on building work already carried out ?

    This figure is frankly a bad guess in a single report that the government has not bothered to test.

  8. Frankly private schools should be scrapped. Finland has it right in this area imo. Make the toffs and rich kids go to a state school, they want to donate to education they can do it nationwide.

    There’s no point to these institutions other than to give the old boys a place to network before working age.

    Thank goodness.
    Given the state of SEND provision being in the news lately, this money could be really helpful.

    Maybe there is a reason why virtually no other country taxes education.

    Greece tried it, and it backfired massively, with many private schools closing and tax revenue dropping.

    New Zealand taxes education but also gives subsidies to families going private, so not comparable.
