UK court backs 20% VAT on private school fees, saying it doesn’t violate human rights.
The UK Court of Appeal has upheld the government’s decision to apply 20% VAT to private school fees, rejecting a challenge that claimed the policy violated human rights.
The court acknowledged financial burdens on families, particularly those with religious convictions, but ruled the tax does not breach property rights or the right to education, noting alternatives like state schools or homeschooling.
The ruling, based on a 44-page judgment, confirms the government’s authority to set tax policy without infringing on human rights, and the measure remains in effect since January 2025.
