20% VAT now applies to private school fees and boarding across the UK
Since 1 January 2025, education, vocational training and boarding supplied for a charge by private schools in the United Kingdom are subject to standard-rate (20%) VAT. This is in force. Nursery classes for children below compulsory school age remain exempt, as do qualifying childcare-based before/after-school and holiday clubs, separately supplied classroom necessities, English-as-a-foreign-language courses, and qualifying higher-education courses. Local-authority-funded places remain VAT-liable, but the authority can reclaim the VAT through the existing section 33 mechanism. International schools charging fees are normally covered where they meet the statutory definition of a private school.

Charitable business rates relief withdrawn from private schools in England
From 1 April 2025, charitable private schools in England are no longer eligible for charitable business-rates relief on their premises, following Royal Assent of the Non-Domestic Rating (Multipliers and Private Schools) Act on 3 April 2025. This is in force. Exceptions preserve relief for private schools wholly or mainly providing full-time education to pupils with an Education, Health and Care Plan, and for properties wholly used for training or welfare of disabled people. This is a tax on school premises rather than a charge on parents directly, but may affect an operator's costs and therefore fees.

The Non-Domestic Rating (Withdrawal of Charitable Relief for Independent Schools) (Wales) Regulations 2025 came into force on 1 April 2025, removing charitable business-rates relief from independent schools in Wales. This is in force. As with the equivalent England measure, this is a levy on school premises rather than a direct charge on parents, but it may feed through into fee levels.

The relief remains available for special schools, including schools for musical excellence within that category.
