An ISC spokesperson has warned that Labour's tax plans would create a two-tier system within the charity sector.
The Independent Schools Council (ISC) has warned that charities will be at risk if tax exemptions for independent schools are removed under Labour's plans. An ISC spokesperson said: "If Labour takes away the tax relief associated with charitable status for independent schools, the policy would create a two-tier system within the charity sector, setting a precedent that any charity seen as not reflecting the political ideology of the government of the day could be subject to additional taxes."
