Private Education: VAT

Question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether providers of higher-level qualifications funded through the Dance and Drama Awards scheme will be subject to VAT.

Answer

On 29 July, the Government announced that, as of 1 January 2025, all education services and vocational training provided by a private school in the UK for a charge will be subject to VAT at the standard rate of 20 per cent.

As announced in July this change will apply to private schools providing full-time education for pupils of school age or to institutions providing full-time education for 16-19 year olds for a fee, where that institution is principally concerned with providing education suitable to that age range.

The draft legislation was published in July and can be found here:
