The Government refunds the Value Added Tax (VAT) costs of schools and academies but not Sixth Form Colleges - this leaves the average Sixth Form College with £335,000 less to spend on the education of students each year. The imposition of VAT on Sixth Form Colleges is a tax on learning that redirects funding away from the front line education of young people.
