Original Note:
The post is incorrect. In the UK, VAT has never been charged on education. Therefore, charging VAT on private school fees constitutes the introduction of a new tax, rather than the removal of a "tax break," as claimed. https://monitor.icef.com/2024/08/uk-confirms-that-value-added-tax-will-now-apply-to-private-school-fees/
