Helping you get the best education for your family

We would all like the best for our children, and that will often include the costs of private education. While parents are generally aware that school and university fees can represent the single greatest cost of being a parent, they may not as yet have quantified the likely cost or thought about how they are going to fund it.

How then do we ensure that your children have the necessary financial support to fund their education all the way from private school through to university?

As with every major commitment, planning is everything. This is where we come in. Whether you have no children yet or have children who are already at school, or whether you are considering funding for private school fees or university fees, Sterling & Law can help you.

Tax-efficient school fees planning

There are various mechanisms you can use to save for school fees in a tax-efficient way. When you meet and discuss this with your adviser, they will highlight all the options.

One way to save and plan for school fees in a tax-efficient way is to use government-approved savings vehicles such as Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) and Junior ISAs.

These accounts allow you to invest up to a certain amount each year, and any returns are tax-free. Another option is to consider setting up a trust, which can provide additional tax benefits and flexibility.

FAQs

School fees planning is the process of putting in place a financial plan to cover the cost of private education for children. This can involve various investment and savings strategies to ensure sufficient funds are available to pay for school fees.

The best way to save for private school fees is to consider tax-efficient investment options, such as ISAs or junior ISAs, and to plan ahead using a regular savings plan.

It’s also worth considering the potential benefits of investment trusts or unit trusts.

Absolutely, as a financial planning company, our advisers can help you create a tailored savings plan for your children’s school fees.

We’ll explore various investment options, consider tax-efficient vehicles, and align the plan with your financial situation and goals. This proactive approach can help secure your children’s educational future.

Indeed, school fee payments can qualify as ‘gifts’ and potentially be exempt from Inheritance Tax (IHT).

These gifts should align with a regular expenditure pattern, and you must retain sufficient income post-gifting to sustain your usual lifestyle and financial commitments.

There are various professionals who can help with school fee planning, including financial planners, IFAs, education consultants, and accountants.
