L’HMRC potrebbe recuperare l’IVA da schemi di commissioni di anticipo scolastico privato, dicono gli esperti

> Even if the full £500m in pre-payments was allowed, it would represent only 5-6% in lost revenue for one year.

The think tanks behind this think nothing of £25m – £30m. That’s equivalent to the income tax collected from thousands of working people.

Seems a reasonably clear cut case to me. HMRC should be all over this.

Good. The more tax avoidance schemes for the wealthy which are shut down, the less tax burden for the rest of us.

Seems like Dan Neidle just read the articles from around last year when they said deposit schemes wouldn’t work… did they find out how many schemes used deposit rather than invoice?

Just a heads up on why private vs state schools are run:

**Traditional Private Schools**

– Independent day schools

– Boarding schools (full, weekly, flexi-boarding)

– Preparatory schools (prep schools)

– Public schools (prestigious historic institutions)

– Grammar schools (private, not state grammars)

**Religious Schools**

– Church of England schools

– Catholic schools

– Jewish schools

– Islamic schools

– Other faith-based institutions

**Alternative Educational Approaches**

– Montessori schools

– Waldorf/Steiner schools

– Forest schools

– Democratic schools

– International Baccalaureate schools

**Specialist Provision**

– Special educational needs schools

– Schools for gifted and talented

– Performing arts schools (drama, music, dance)

– Sports academies

– Language immersion schools

**International Schools**

– American curriculum schools

– French/German/other national curriculum schools

– International schools with multiple curricula

**Alternative Settings**

– Tutorial colleges

– Sixth form colleges (private)

– Homeschooling cooperatives

– Online/distance learning schools

– Flexible learning centers

Each category serves different educational philosophies, learning needs, and family preferences outside the maintained state school system.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Seeing the full breadth I am deeply at a loss why the government would add VAT to this process when VAT itself is deleterious and this is for educational outcomes and future and present human benefit…

nothing says caring for a population better than taxing education
