The ICAEW Insights podcast explores the month’s top stories in accountancy.    In this episode, we discuss Labour’s proposals for removing VAT exemptions from private schools and the disagreement over just how much money it would raise for the public purse. Plus, in our final CPD update before the new regulations come into force on 1 November, we answer ICAEW members’ most frequently asked questions.    Philippa Lamb is joined by ICAEW’s Ed Saltmarsh, Technical Manager, and Liz Shaw, Senior Manager, Professional Standards.    Links    ICAEW TAXline: https://www.icaew.com/technical/tax/tax-faculty/taxlineICAEW: Would removing the VAT exemption for private schools make VAT simpler?: https://www.icaew.com/technical/tax/tax-faculty/taxline/2023/articles/would-removing-the-vat-exemption-for-private-schools-make-vat-simplerICAEW Continuing Professional Development: https://www.icaew.com/membership/cpdICAEW CPD learning resources: https://www.icaew.com/membership/cpd/cpd-resources Host  Philippa Lamb  Guests  Ed Saltmarsh, Technical Manager, ICAEW Liz Shaw, Senior Manager, Professional Standards, ICAEW   Producer  Natalie Chisholm     Episode first published: 8 September 2023 Podcast recorded: 4 September 2023
