answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2019 answer text <p>Since 2010, this government has taken unprecedented action to ensure that large multinationals pay their fair share of tax in the UK.

This will raise around £1.5bn across four years.</p><p> </p><p>At the same time, the government remains committed to keeping taxes low for working people.

A number of independent schools choose to enter their pupils into unregulated international GCSEs, which do not count in the department’s published school performance table measures. The number of independent school pupils sitting ineligible qualifications affects the figures shown for independent school performance, as pupils are less likely to sit the required exams to complete the English Baccalaureate or Attainment 8. The Department does not publish a Progress 8 score for independent schools for similar reasons.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>[1] Figures are based on provisional data.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2019 answer text <p>The obligation to pay taxes is a general one. In general, tax receipts go into the ‘Consolidated Fund’ and taxes are not earmarked to any particular purpose.</p><p> </p><p>I do appreciate that not all taxpayers make direct use of every service provided by the government, and that parents who choose to educate their children at home are one example of this. However, a similar argument for a tax refund could be made by anyone who does not use a publicly provided service, or some aspect of that service, including those who are not parents. Primary and secondary education is primarily funded through general taxation, irrespective of usage, and not through charging users.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 11/01/2019 11:27:37 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
