Rejoining EU would block Labour's private school VAT plan
Original: Rejoining EU will scupper Labour’s private school VAT raid
The Telegraph reports that if the UK rejoined the European Union, Labour's plan to charge VAT on private school fees would be ruled out, since EU state-aid rules prohibit member states from singling out private education providers for such taxation. The claim links the party's flagship schools funding policy to the wider debate over any future bid to reverse Brexit and re-enter the bloc.
Why now: It ties Labour's high-profile private school VAT policy to ongoing debate about UK-EU relations and the practical barriers to rejoining.
