Labour’s decision to end the 80% business rates relief for charity-run private schools

Natasha Asghar MS, Welsh Conservative Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Education, has criticised Labour’s decision to end the 80% business rates relief for charity-run private schools, describing it as contributing to a “triple whammy” of higher taxes.

Commenting, Natasha Asghar MS, said:

“Labour is hitting independent schools with a triple whammy of higher taxes.

“After already announcing VAT on private and independent schools, an NI hike for employers and now ending the 80% business rate relief, Labour have turned their back on charity-run independent schools.

“After 26 years of a Welsh Labour Government, we have the worst educational outcomes anywhere in the UK, and this decision will only add to the significant pressures facing all schools. Clearly, only the Welsh Conservatives can be trusted to fix education in Wales once and for all.”
