VAT on education?

[carmanmemoranda]

The latter

Where is it being threatened?
What education is being removed?

Try actually shaking your head

Kieth claims this is the biggest economic crisis since ww2 then targets people trying to educate their kids

You don’t seem to be aware that private school perpetuates the class system.

The reason people send their children to private school is because it gives them access to an elitist Old Boys network.

Private schools are drivers of social segregation


This country needs the best people to do the best jobs, not people who get the best education and a posh accent doing the best jobs.

You mean, VAT on private businesses that provide fee-paying education.

Like all high street charities the "businesses" are set up s subsidiaries of the educational charity to serve that charity.

And yet you incorrectly claimed that the tax was on education.

The VAT change is unlikely to do anything to the higher end of private schools. The bottom end is a bit of an unknown. One interviewed said it would but now pupils are back at school there may be more actual info available.

They can now recover VAT on any that they pay due to running costs.

Good pun

Bit of a generalisation there, so want to give them a better education and the chances it brings

Private schools are drivers of social segregation

It probably does, but the answer is to improve state education. One Eton kid in an inner city school of 1000 isn't going to change social mobility, one inner city kid at Eton might.

This country needs the best people to do the best jobs, not people who get the best education and a posh accent doing the best jobs.

There's a lot of thick under achieving kids who have been to private school.

Buffoon Johnson, for example.

Education is not being taxed.

Private businesses are being taxed.

When the ruling classes do not use public services

The rulers have little interest in their quality.

How long do you think David Cameron waits for a doctor's appointment?

Do you think Rees-Mogg is concerned about public transport?

Did Boris Johnson care about school meals for the children of the poor?

 

[carmanmemoranda]

VAT is on private school fees.

Vat is on a business delivering a luxury product.

Do you disagree with vat on luxuries. Chocolate biscuits for example . Other biscuits without vat are available.

Buffoon Johnson, for example.

Quick John, the picture! The picture!

Or even if the fees drop to help keep their customers.

They are a business after all

Or if they decide to offer discounts to sponsors or one of many other options.

VAT is on private school fees.
