Labour's Private School VAT Plan to Start in January.

Parents face unexpected mid-term fee increases as Labour accelerates tax policy implementation.

Labour's VAT on private school fees will likely begin in January, nine months earlier than anticipated.
The policy aims to raise £1.5 billion annually for state education improvements, including new teachers and nurseries.
Critics warn that the tax could drive many students from private to state schools, causing potential overcrowding.
Labour insists schools have had sufficient time to prepare and can absorb the costs without passing them to parents.
The exact implementation date will be confirmed in the autumn Budget.
