ICAEW Insights: VAT exemptions for private schools and final CPD update
The ICAEW Insights podcast explores the month’s top stories in accountancy. In this episode, we discuss Labour’s proposals for removing VAT exemptions from private schools and the disagreement over just how much money it would raise for the public purse. Plus, in our final CPD update before the new regulations come into force on 1 November, we answer ICAEW members’ most frequently asked questions. Philippa Lamb is joined by ICAEW’s Ed Saltmarsh, Technical Manager, and Liz Shaw, Senior Manager, Professional Standards.

In this Insights In Focus episode, we analyse the health of the UK economy through the lens of the Prime Minister’s pledges for 2023.

With 2024 rapidly approaching, how is the Prime Minister faring in meeting his goals?
