Launch Your British Private School in Germany with Our Support
As the German-British Private School Association, we empower UK independent schools to establish VAT-free subsidiaries in Germany — handling registration, prime property sourcing, expert staffing, and full compliance — so you capture the surging demand from affluent British families without the bureaucratic burden.
German-British Private Schools Association
The British VAT Problem
Since January 2025, the UK Labour government's 20% VAT on private school fees has inflated average day fees to £7,382 per term (up 22.6% year-on-year) and boarding costs even higher, prompting a flood of wealthy British parents to explore European alternatives for cost savings and quality education.
Our German Solution
Our association provides a turnkey B2B partnership: we manage German-specific hurdles — forming a GmbH entity, securing state-level school approval (6-12 months), GDPR compliance, post-Brexit visas for UK staff, and child protection alignment — while you deliver your renowned curriculum and brand.
