I run a Ltd company, can i claim relief for school fees either personally or through the company. The school is a registered charity.
Can anyone help please?

You can also email the answers to this and the many other questions Herbs16 has at

onlineaccountancy@yahoo.co.uk

as she is an accountant not a tax payer.

can the Mods please stop people from pretending to ask advice in order to pass that on to others whom they bill out to!!!!!

As a governor of a leading Glasgow independent school the answer is a resounding 'No'. You can of course make a donation to the school through a business, and offset that against corporation tax, as it is a charity. But you cannot then use that donation as a way of avoiding paying school fees, which are net of tax.
