Think of it like a Xmas quiz.

Seriously back to the sad teacher routine? It’s as if you enjoy trolling being annoying whatever it is… Got something to say just say it, put some facts up and tell us why private schools should be subsidised at the expense of say policing or disabled people?

Just giving AA a few clues for his homework

Oh I thought you were just talking bollocks like normal.
You carry on if it makes you happy.

Every figure is directly relevant to my first post. The basic factual stepping stones to understanding why this policy is BS but still so typical of those who are introducing it.

Little steps to encourage independent thought for those who value reading around the subject rather than being spoon fed facts to regurgitate later. Such a crap way to learn that.

It’s a tax dodge to avoid the hefty tax on soap that would cripple most posh folks who would need to wash their hands if they met the great unwashed on a regular basis.
As said way up there those who would cut any subsidy going insist this needs one….

That would be funny if it wasn’t so far from the truth.

Yours,

Not a posh ****.

Are you talking to yourself old fella?

I lost interest in your first post about 3 days ago and even then its wasnt very interesting.

Edited to add actually that does it more credit than it deserves I expect because I have no idea what it said.

Who are you responding to?

Have you got the answer yet?

I suspect AA has known “the answer” for a long time THM. I can’t say the same for you

Have you got the answer yet?

Dont even know what the question is.
Why dont you try taking a deep breath, wipe away some spittle and start slowly from the beginning?

Ah, this is so, so satisfying….

So we can conclude they are run as businesses then? Therefore subject to regular taxation.
Spot on, we shall let HMRC know.

The list grows by the day, most are simply ignored these days…

You don’t seem to have learned that everyone can see through you.

It’s a wee reward of living in Scotland. 🙂

You’re going to have to help me here Mike, how did you get

I was addressing your ignorant assertion that folk who attend these schools are doing so because they somehow think they are better than other folk. Also, I’d say my personal politics are somewhat at odds with your second point.

You’re talking utter pish, just regurgitated prejudiced nonsense. If you think I’m being unreasonable ask yourself how being perceived as a posh **** all your life would feel when you know it’s as far from the truth. People just hear ‘boarding school’ and suddenly you’re labelled as “one of them”.

It was a sarcastic/satirical comment, did you really take is seriously when I was talking about tax on soap?
The real point is if a private school is a business or not. That is the simple definition that is needed. They take money in exchange for a service so for me this makes them a business which should pay the appropriate amount of tax required.

Sorry I didn’t realise you were ripping it…

And no, I didn’t guess by your comment, sad reflection on the forum really.

I would still counter that with not for profit status but that notwithstanding yeah, totally agree.

Sorry again.

Not a problem, I must add more smileys in there.

Judging by the amount of frothing at business rate relief I would imagine a few heads on here would explode if we were to talk about the Music and Dance Scheme awards where the government picks up a significant proportion of the cost for kids to study dance or music full time at boarding school! Even for parents who have more than 2 farthings to rub together. And provides a grant for uniforms!!

“So, this is now set to change in Scotland. The mandatory business rates relief is going to be removed from them. It’s fair to say that the private schools sector in Scotland is not best pleased with this.

I, on the other hand, am very pleased about this.”

Thanks for this info, I was unaware of some of it. Great news.
