Welsh Government plans to end tax breaks for private schools, redirecting funds to public services.

The Welsh Government plans to end business rates relief for private schools with charitable status, starting April 2025, if approved by the Senedd. This move aims to free up £1.3 million annually for local public services, aligning with actions taken in Scotland and planned in England. The change affects 17 schools and removes an 80% relief on their business rates, potentially impacting school operations and pupil movement.
