ISC chief executive Julie Robinson comments on Labour's pledge to add VAT to fees amid new findings from HMRC analysis suggesting the policy could raise less than half the sum expected.
Ms Robinson said: “We welcome the government’s commitment to running all its budget policies through the OBR, and would support a full and independent assessment being conducted on the intention to place VAT on independent school fees. It is vital all implications have been considered and mitigated to avoid disruption to thousands of children’s education.”
