The Welsh government is consulting on withdrawing charitable non-domestic rates relief from private schools in Wales with effect from 1 April 2025 (mirroring the proposed withdrawal of relief in England).
The proposal seeks to bring independent schools with charitable status in line with other independent schools in Wales, for the purposes of non-domestic rates. In Wales, private schools are registered as independent schools.
According to the Welsh government, there are 83 independent schools registered in Wales of which 17 receive charitable non-domestic rates relief worth around £1.3m every year.
Comments should be submitted online or by email by 16 December 2024.
