Parents opposed to the 20 per cent education tax are crowdfunding to enable them to launch next month's landmark case at the High Court, on behalf of their children with SEN.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves is spending hundreds of thousands in legal fees to defend her VAT policy on private school fees against an unprecedented legal challenge. The government has employed four KCs, signaling the seriousness of the case, which could impact thousands of schools and parents. The policy aims to raise £1.8 billion annually to support state schools. Some private schools are already closing due to the VAT imposition.
