Scrap the addition of VAT for private schools.
The government must not add VAT to private school fees.
Citizens who choose to send their children to a private school already pay twice, once through education taxes and again through school fees.
Hard workers in the middle classes will be primarily affected by this, not politicians children and the upper classes who attend schools such as Eton, thus widening the gap between class in the United Kingdom.
This decision will also take a toll on mental health of children, as well as impact those with disabilities.
