Non-Domestic Rating (Multipliers and Private Schools) Act

Labour will end the VAT exemption and business rates relief for private schools to invest in state schools.

The bill text directly addresses one part of the promise but is silent on the other. The long title states the bill provides for 'the removal of charitable relief from non-domestic rates for private schools in England' - this addresses the business rates relief component of the promise. However, the bill text makes no mention of VAT or ending VAT exemption for private schools. Since the promise explicitly requires both VAT application AND business rates relief removal, and only the latter is addressed in the bill text provided, this constitutes partial fulfilment.
