With the introduction of VAT at 20% on tuition and boarding fees from Jan 2025 this will change how we apply fee discounts such as bursaries, scholarships, sibling discount, staff discount etc. We understand from the Government's draft legislation and guidance from ISBA that these fee discounts are classed as V99 (outside the scope of VAT) and can be applied to the net fee before 20% VAT is added. It seems that this is currently not possible on the fee billing module, it will only apply a discount to the gross fee amount. This is something we really need in order to invoice from January onwards and would assume other School's would find useful as well.
This can be achieved by adding the discount as a child charge.
