Highlighting consultations and VAT.

Consultations

There were a number of tax-related consultations announced in the Spring Statement, including:

  • Clearances for the Research and Development tax reliefs, with the aims of reducing error and fraud, increasing certainty for customers and improving customer experience.
  • Modernising how HMRC acquires and uses third-party data to make it easier for taxpayers to get tax right first time.
  • Options to improve the financial penalties that apply when inaccuracies are found in returns and documents submitted to HMRC and where taxpayers do not meet their obligations to notify HMRC of circumstances that affect their tax liability.Options to enhance HMRC's powers and sanctions to take swifter and stronger action against tax advisers who facilitate non-compliance.

The VAT registration threshold

From 1 April 2025 the VAT registration threshold remains at £90,000 and the deregistration threshold at £88,000.

Removal of VAT exemption for school fees

Private school fees for education and vocational training will no longer benefit from VAT exemption and are subject to VAT at the standard rate (20%). The change applies to terms beginning on or after 1 January 2025 although certain prepayments made after 29 July 2024 are also included.
