Learn English: Labour Reverses Decision on Removing Charitable Status from Private Schools (hard)

Private schools will no longer lose their charitable status under a Labour government.

The party believes that charging 20% VAT on fees and ending business rates relief is sufficient.

Gift aid on donations and tax exemption on annual profits will still be available to private schools.

Labour clarifies that the removal of charitable status was used as a way to communicate their policy, not the main objective.
