Top Oxfordshire Prep School to Close Amid Controversial VAT Policy on Private Education
Most of the independent schools have obtained a "Charity" designation. As I understand this status, it allows for a reduced tax rate from the local council, and allows for additional tax deductions and credits available to charities. I have seen references to the benefit of charity status as £200 per pupil. If there are an 554,000 pupils at independent schools, the amount of tax revenue forsaken would be £200 X 554,000 = £1,108,000,000. There are also additional amounts lost to the Revenue department, of which I have seen estimates of between £100 million and £200 million. (I am unable to find a reliable source for this, so take it under advise.) No. A quick check of Google says that the average tuition per pupil is £16,656.00 If we use 554,000 pupils, the total taxable amount is £9,227,424,000.00 20% of that is £1,845,484,800.00 If we look at the numbers from the first answer above, it gives the impression that the government is collecting revenue it has previously not collected because of the schools' charitable status. In effect a wash. Comment The parents who are sending their children to independent schools are also paying taxes to support the government school system, but they receive no service or benefit from that tax contribution. At the very least, they should be able to receive a tax credit for this. -

Nuclear Warming?: Is this the fourth horseman of the apocalypse?
There is another factor, apart from methane. Albedo. Ice reflects solar radiation. It has a high albedo. Black rock absorbs solar radiation. It has a low albedo. As ice melts and leaves behind bare rock, the planet absorbs more heat. Between 1985 and 2022, Greenland's ice cap lost 1,140 billion tons. -

Some help from gentlemen on my visa...
60 day extension to visit wife is the obvious answer. 1,900bht at immigration, need your marriage cert (and maybe the Amphur confirmation still married). This extension is allowed once every time you enter Thailand. -

Best way to fly Bangkok to Philippines?
Thanks but no thanks... I don't use agents for tix. I'll fly BKK to Manila on Thai. About $ 230 r/t. OR even better; she comes to Jomtien 😉 negotiations on going. I haven dated pinays for 20 years. Hopefully they are more liberated now.
