  • I read a post about (some) parents choosing to pay private school fees up front - 1) specifically now, because they can avoid the VAT if they do and 2) in general, because schools have always apparently offered discounts if you do that. Only mentioning because it was a surprise (I’m always surprised by how deeply, fundamentally, inter-generationally, wealthy some people are) and it feels wrong.

  • Schools are offering it but they don't know that vat can be avoided. Why the government would allow people who have paid up front to not pay tax is beyond me.
