Victoria's private schools are urging the federal government to increase funding to offset the financial blow from the newly introduced state payroll tax. This tax is expected to significantly impact their bottom lines, making the cost of educating students more costly. As a result, private schools are facing increased financial pressure, which may affect the quality of education they provide. With the introduction of this tax, private schools are seeking a national funding boost to ensure they can continue to deliver high-quality education to their students, highlighting the need for education funding reform and tax relief for private schools in Australia.
