英国法院在私立学校收费上支持20%的增值税, 说这不违反人权。 UK court backs 20% VAT on private school fees, saying it doesn’t violate human rights.

英国上诉法院维持了政府对私立学校收费征收20%增值税的决定,驳回了一项声称该政策侵犯人权的质疑。 The UK Court of Appeal has upheld the government’s decision to apply 20% VAT to private school fees, rejecting a challenge that claimed the policy violated human rights. 法院承认家庭,特别是那些有宗教信仰的家庭负有财政负担,但裁定税收不侵犯财产权或受教育权,同时指出公立学校或家庭学校等替代办法。 The court acknowledged financial burdens on families, particularly those with religious convictions, but ruled the tax does not breach property rights or the right to education, noting alternatives like state schools or homeschooling. 这项判决以44页的判决为基础,确认政府有权制定税收政策而不侵犯人权,而且这项措施自2025年1月以来一直有效。 The ruling, based on a 44-page judgment, confirms the government’s authority to set tax policy without infringing on human rights, and the measure remains in effect since January 2025.
