Stop VAT being added to Private school fees

Petition Details

Stop the charging of VAT on private schools fees. Government funds free schools, so therefore I think it should also be supporting private schools that hard working parents scrimp to pay for! I think supporting private schools increases places and facilities offered to state schools!

Additional Information

Adding VAT to private school fees could mean some successful schools closing, which could impact the state sector/SEN provision. I think closures could also reduce parents' democratic right of choice. It could also cut superb teachers' jobs and the jobs of other competent staff, along with building heritage.
