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

Where a Local Authority (LAs) funds a pupil’s place in a private school because their needs can only be met in a private school, LAs will be able to reclaim the VAT on the fees from HMRC.
