From 1 January 2025, private school fees in the UK will incur a 20% VAT, affecting payments made from 29 July 2024. About 2,500 private schools educate 7% of pupils, with average fees around £15,000. While the government expects a 10% average fee increase, the actual impact on enrollment and state schools remains uncertain, with an anticipated 35,000 students shifting to the state sector.

UK government is planning on placing a standard 20% tax on private school fees. The expected change in numbers of students in private schools is 35,000 pupils moving to public schools. This should be balanced out, because the number of students overall will decrease in the future. However, the decrease in number of students overall might not be distributed evenly, so some schools will get extra pressure.
