GB News: Rachel Reeves 'vastly underestimated' scale of parents' rebellion over school VAT raid
Rachel Reeves 'vastly underestimated' scale of parents' rebellion over school VAT raid
Chancellor Rachel Reeves faces criticism for underestimating the financial impact of parents prepaying private school fees to avoid a new VAT. Over £515 million was paid in advance before the tax took effect, surpassing Treasury expectations and highlighting a significant behavioral shift among parents.

The government's plans to tax prepayments were based on a projected £450 million in upfront fees, but actual figures suggest a much higher total. Critics argue that this miscalculation reflects broader issues in the independent school sector, with more students leaving private schools.
