Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government which other countries in (1) the EU, and (2) the rest of the world, charge VAT or equivalent on school fees.

Structural differences in countries’ education systems mean that there are limited meaningful comparisons that can be drawn between the UK and other nations. For example, comparatively high fees in the UK mean that private school participation in the UK is particularly concentrated in the wealthiest families relative to countries such as Germany, France, or the US.
