I have 3 kids attending private school, my husband and I aren't rich, we just want quality education for our kids. It's hard sometimes to fulfill our payments but we do. This move by the government is a heartless unreasonable complacent act that disregards what parents interest for their kids future.

U.K. Vat rules- please read and find the loop hole....because there always is one
6.1 The treatment of private tuition
The following table will help to decide whether the private tuition supplied by an individual teacher, working in a personal capacity, is exempt from VAT.
If the teacher is … And … Then …
a sole proprietor or member of a partnership the subject is one taught regularly in a number of schools or universities
takes on a teacher or teachers to help in carrying out the instruction it is an exempt supply of private tuition
even though the tuition delivered by teacher (as sole proprietor or partner) may still qualify as exempt private tuition, the tuition that others deliver is standard-rated
If a teacher takes on another teacher (or several others) to assist, either:
there should be an apportionment of supplies of tuition between exempt and taxable elements (using any fair and reasonable method)
all supplies of tuition should be treated as taxable regardless of who actually delivers it
6.2 Treatment of goods or services sold in connection with private tuition
If the goods and services supplied with private tuition are not an integral part of the supply of tuition they must be treated as standard-rated unless relief is available elsewhere. This applies even if the goods and services are closely related to the private tuition itself (see section 8).
7. Examination services
7.1 The meaning of the term ‘examination services’
Examination services (see paragraph 7.2 for VAT treatment) include:
setting and marking examinations
setting educational or training standards
making assessments; and
other services provided with a view to ensuring that educational and training standards are maintained
The following are also examination services:
services connected with GCSE and GCE examinations and National Curriculum tests

I think this petition should be circulated in print also. Not everyone has access or want to go online to sign this. I did not even know where to find the petition. Just came up in my newsfeed.

I understand the government's need to raise money to do its job for the country but it needs to be very careful about where it imposes these taxes. To tax essential services like education, which is already underfunded, is absurd, as it is to tax tourism, which is an essential engine to stimulate the economy, which in turn will bring new revenue to the government from foreign tourists. An educated youth that stays in Guyana is what the government needs to be focused on as well the support of tourism and small business in general.

Education is our hope to escape poverty and to have a better life in our future in a country like Guyana. Most of all Education is our key to success , adding vat to it just makes the future of many Guyanese somewhat more difficult.

Discrimination against private school students. Do we even have a Minister of Education. This will vastly affect society now. The unborn will be stressed as this awaits them like a mortgage to pay that one did not apply for. My eduation is my human right and education is a necessity. What is wrong with this administration for government now. Please let Caricom aware of what you are putting your citizens through. Do not just attend and head and host all dressed up.
