Academies receive a VAT grant because they incur VAT on purchases and services, whereas local authority maintained schools in general do not or can reclaim it. LACSEG is paid to academies to enable them to purchase/provide services normally funded and provided to maintained schools from the local authority's central budget, which an academy does not have access to. | ||
