Make private schools pay VAT? Feat. Jemma Forte & Richard Tice | Jeremy Vine

We pay VAT on almost everything, why are public schools any different?

Once upon a time the state schools had swimming pool and playing fields.... GONE. State schools are now crumbling around our children. Private school is a business not a charity and latter does very little within the community not near enough to obtain charitable status.

I don’t have problem with private schools, 93% can’t afford it now anyway. Adding vat will probably only mean 95% can’t do private schools. What’s the problem. Everything else has to charge vat.

Why is it in this country if we see something successful, we have to destroy it. I and my family all went to state school. None of us went to university. But grammar schools were incredibly successful. My dad was proper working class. Outside toilet, the works. But he passed his 11 + and got a place at a grammar school. That opportunity lifted him out of poverty and made his life, and therefore mine, so much better. So we destroyed the 11+ and grammar schools. We are about to do the same in the private sector. Can’t have people succeeding. The politics of spite. When Labour enact this policy (unless Starmer does his usual and u turns), it is going to be a disaster!

Is anyone else wondering why the teachers went out on strike

The question shouldn't be, should private schools pay vat, the question should be should public school pay vat when private schools isn't!

If you go out for a meal EVERYBODY pays vat every single one of us

Like crabs in a bucket. Just pulling those who try to climb out, back into the cooking pot

There shouldn’t be a need for private schools The state system should be gold standard for the tax we all pay.

Tice don't half talk some shite, look how this country ended up with privately educated people now running this country, if you can't afford the VAT don't send them simples.

Take labour to the ICHR Rich!! 😂

Tice is such a liar.

I have no problem with private schools The argument against Labour putting VAT on private schools is always about the parents who can only afford it if there is no VAT but how many go these schools who can afford to pay the VAT?

Why did some labour mps send there children to private school to name one Diane abbot.

I've always been against private schools, I don't believe on the teaching side there the difference is class sizes. On a personal side. I believe it's elitist,

“Don’t dumb things down” what an arse.

Have these people who won't be able to afford the increase considered getting a better job or cancelling their Netflix subscriptions?

I went to a private school and it is clear to me that they are all businesses and should be VATable. Lots of them have set up profitable offshoots in Asia. That is the action of a business not a charity!

Let’s get rid of stat schools they are to much of a burden on the tax payers. Plus they would be pay twice for there kids to be educated. 😂

Make them pay
