Looming Crisis: Private Schools Face Closures Amid VAT Hike
The claim that private schools ultimately benefit state schools needs something to back it up. -

Looming Crisis: Private Schools Face Closures Amid VAT Hike
You could but I'm not sure that many of the consequences would be desirable. What if parents chose not to send their children to school? Would schools be free to charge what they wanted? If so, it would create an even more of an unlevel playing field.- 1

Looming Crisis: Private Schools Face Closures Amid VAT Hike
Also known as blaming the messenger. I stated facts and backed them up with credible links. Unlike you who already admitted your post was a little tongue in cheek. -

Watch: Graphic Inmate's Fatal Beating by NY Officers Sparks Outrage
Has anyone seen the channel https://www.youtube.com/@PoliceActivity on YouTube? It's endless videos of police encounters. The whole thing is just a disaster. I don't always care for how the police are acting but look at the people they're dealing with. It's not like Thai people who are generally calm and non-violent. Everyone has knives and guns, fighting with the police endlessly. I don't know what's supposed to be done about it. -

Looming Crisis: Private Schools Face Closures Amid VAT Hike
The arrival in state schools of children from families motivated to get their children the best education will undoubtedly provide a driving force for improvement of all children in the schools they bless with their presence. It’s why schools in catchment areas that include high numbers of parents with higher education do so well, to the extent of impacting house prices within their catchment area. And then’s the added bonus of all those ‘excellent teachers’ leaving the private sector and seeking jobs in the state schools that are in receipt of their share of the £2.3 Billion increase in spending on schools. https://www.henrywiltshire.co.uk/news/buying/schools-affect-house-prices-london-property-market/#:~:text=London properties near good schools sell quickly&text=Research using data from Zoopla,elsewhere in the same postcode. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/674f2609d7e2693e0e47d02a/NFF_Policy_document.pdf -

Introduction to Personal Income Tax in Thailand
Surely you can see the irony here of: Trying to rely on a decade year old media article as a source... for a remittance rule that's never been applied... where a bunch of people are trying to preempt and voluntarily calculate their own taxation payments..... In a complete absence of any real clarity from the actual revenue authority..... As a Thai would say - JING LOR?? -

Looming Crisis: Private Schools Face Closures Amid VAT Hike
Take your own advice and stop making things up. Nowhere did I 'blame the messenger'. I pointed out that the Telegraph headline and article - or, at least the bit which you quoted - bore little relation to each other. I'm not making things up. How else to intrepret your post other than the state system is unable to step into the breech if a 'special needs' private school goes bust? Your post: "For one, there are special private schools that provide the needs for children that are not available in the state sector." Unfortunately, some people will lose out. It's almost inevitable whenever there is a policy change. If I was a parent whose child was affected I would no doubt be furious, however, as the article which you posted points out, "The government said the VAT rise is needed to improve education for the 93% of pupils outside the private system. ....students with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP), which states their needs cannot be met in the state sector, will have their private school fees paid by the local authority and will be able to reclaim the VAT fee. However, not all Send pupils have EHCP's, which has resulted in some parents paying the fees with their own money to ensure their children's needs are being met" Whether education will be improved for the 93% as a result of this VAT increase remains to be seen.
