Conservative, East Hampshire
To ask the Secretary of State for Education which sixth form colleges undertook capital works of a monetary value of more than £1 million in the last 10 years; and which such projects attracted a zero rate of value added tax in respect of (a) less than 10 per cent., (b) between 11 per cent. and 50 per cent., (c) between 51 per cent. and 90 per cent. and (d) 91 per cent. or above of the monetary value of the project.
Nick Gibb
Minister of State (Education)
Information held by the YPLA has recorded that 73 sixth-form colleges undertook capital works, the costs of which totalled more than £1 million over the last 10 years. The list of the 73 colleges is listed as follows and excludes those institutions that are no longer sixth-form colleges. In addition, some sixth-form colleges will have undertaken capital works that did not require approval and for which the YPLA does not have information.
The YPLA has not been required to report on VAT rates and levels, but does have access to some information on the amount of VAT that has been paid on each project. However, the information is not readily available and can be obtained only at disproportionate costs. Sixth-form colleges themselves would hold the VAT information relevant to works that did not require approval.
