If you have to go private for health or dentistry, you should be allowed to claim the NHS tariff to offset the private cost. NHS services are supposed to be there and an entitlement.

I am sure they will be paying the same taxes as everybody else.

It's not about the cost as far as i am concerned. I just don't agree with private education on principle nor private healthcare. These are services which should be available to everyone equally. Private education perpetuates inequality and privilege.
Sunak, Badenoch and Braverman all polling to lose their seats on that basis I just read.
maybe the tax break recognises that they are basically paying For education twice?But that’s not the reality with schooling. People using private education are not doing it because their child is going to miss the start of term in state education if they don’t. Fair play to anyone willing to do it just don’t expect everyone else to subsidise the luxury with a tax break.
Doubtful.maybe the tax break recognises that they are basically paying For education twice?

But it hasn’t we are where we are and the NHS isn’t providing the necessary capacity and won’t until the new Labour government gets NHS staff working loads of overtime. If that will be legal.Crazy idea, I know, but maybe if the sixth(?) wealthiest country in the world distributed its wealth slightly more equitably, there wouldn't be quite the same need for private health and dentistry.
the state of access to dentists is exactly why any so-called 'imrpovements' in the wider NHS should be scrutinised to an inch of their lives. Imagine not being able to get an NHS doctor within 10 miles of your house...Crazy idea, I know, but maybe if the sixth(?) wealthiest country in the world distributed its wealth slightly more equitably, there wouldn't be quite the same need for private health and dentistry.

That doesn’t explain why education organisations are exempt.Nope, it's because of this...
"Private schools do not have to charge value added tax (VAT) on their fees because of a legal exemption for organisations providing education.
About half of England's private schools are also charities, so receive an 80% reduction on business rates (taxes on properties used for commercial purposes)."
Why was VAT added to private school fees and what difference has it made?
The government says "every single penny" raised by the policy will be spent on state schools.www.bbc.co.uk
Well it was before that. I actually couldn't get myself registered with an NHS dentist once mine closed down, and that was under Major's government. 1992, gvernment cut fees to NHS dentists by 7%, that's where the root (no pun intended) cause is.Blair and the Labour Party destroyed NHS dentistry
I think you're right.You keep saying about 60k take home, i have literally shown the workings out and it is based on 2 parents earning 30k each before tax.
Yes, with sacrifices for 1 kid it's doable.

You couldn't be more wrong.You would agree if you needed it and could afford it
You couldn't be more wrong.
We have had Labour governments before, and politicians attendance at private schools is not limited to the Tories,didn’t Tony Blair attend Fettes?No it doesn't. Could the historical reason be related to the fact that most Tories (most MPs, possibly) and their benefactors, benefitted financially from this unusual state of affairs?
Ah, just call me cynical, I'm sure these inconsistent tax breaks were all down to their innate charity and desire to improve the world we live in.
Starmer wouldn’t.Well I couldn’t because I suspect if your child was in a sink estate school or your wife wanted a hip replacement you’d think more of their needs than your precious principles

Tory. 1952.Was charging for prescriptions Labour or the Conservatives. I forget which one of the right wing parties it was.
Think more and more people will be pushed to private as there's no other option. Following my recent stay in hospital there's two things they want to investigate as potential causes, I've been told both should happen relatively urgently.Getting required medical attention is a necessity not a luxury.
you've gone too far now!After all it's a luxury to live in Finham
This is exactly the situation wherein patients should be able to claim NHS tariff to offset the cost of private treatment. I had to have cataract surgery done privately because the wait was so long I would have permanently lost sight in the affected eye.AnThink more and more people will be pushed to private as there's no other option. Following my recent stay in hospital there's two things they want to investigate as potential causes, I've been told both should happen relatively urgently.
My appointment for one is June next year. For the other they sent me a choice of five places I could go, none of which have an appointment available in the next two years.
So next week I have an appointment with my GP to discuss getting this done privately despite the fact I can't afford it and will be getting into debt.
Badenoch would survive, Mordaunt would be out:Sunak, Badenoch and Braverman all polling to lose their seats on that basis I just read.
Sorry to hear that. That's my point with this stuff is that you shouldn't be in that position but you have to get things done.Think more and more people will be pushed to private as there's no other option.

Kemi Badenoch is the future of the Tory party – no one else survives
The Telegraph’s exclusive poll raises the prospect of the Business Secretary leading the Right’s battle for control of the Torieswww.telegraph.co.uk
A new charlatan for a new era.
I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised to see him back in the Tories at some point soon and part of a leadership contest. There’s definitely a bit of sleepwalking going on with all this.
The prospect of him as Tory leader at the next election is a frightening prospect. They’ve already managed to get the ‘MSM’ narrative going in the UK like in the USA and he’s already like Trump to an extent where his base don’t care what he does or says.A new charlatan for a new era.
