answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/06/2015 answer text <p>Sixth form colleges (SFCs) do not qualify for VAT refunds as they are not part of local government, nor are they academies. The VAT treatment of SFCs is determined by their classification, which is designated by the Office for National Statistics. Colleges, including SFCs, have been liable for VAT since they ceased to be part of the local government sector in 1993. In order for SFCs to be classified differently significant changes to their governance, accountability and administration (i.e. in the direction of greater central government control) would be required, which may not be a route that SFCs wish to take. At the end of any such restructuring, the ONS would review how to reclassify the SFC. There is the possibility that, even after such changes, the ONS would not necessarily change their classification to one where it was possible for them to reclaim VAT.</p><p>Decisions regarding future 16 to 19 funding will be subject to the outcome of the next spending round where this decision may be revisited.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 29/06/2015 13:45:39 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah
