北爱尔兰教育部长反对私人学校收费20%的增值税计划, Northern Ireland's Education Minister opposes a planned 20% VAT on private school fees, arguing it doesn't align with local funding structure.
北爱尔兰教育部长保罗·吉万(Paul Givan)主张反对2025年1月开始实行20%的私立学校学费增值税计划。 Northern Ireland's Education Minister, Paul Givan, is advocating against a planned 20% VAT on private school fees set to start in January 2025. 他声称,北爱尔兰的私立学校不同于英格兰的私立学校,不应面临这项税收,因为这项税收的目的是资助英格兰教师的工资。 He asserts that private schools in Northern Ireland differ from those in England and should not face this tax, which aims to fund teacher salaries in England. Givan认为,联合王国的这项政策与北爱尔兰的教育筹资结构不一致,可能会增加大约2 500名学生家长的费用。 Givan argues that this UK-wide policy does not align with Northern Ireland's education funding structure, potentially increasing costs for parents of about 2,500 students.
