- State Secretaries Paul and Van Oostenbruggen oppose levying sales tax on commercial tutoring agencies, citing concerns about competition distortion between for-profit and non-profit education providers.
- Since 1993, regular education providers have been exempt from VAT to prevent competitive disadvantages; reintroducing a tax could undermine this balance.
- Budgetary rules prevent specific allocation of potential tax revenues from commercial tutoring to publicly funded education, making such a tax unwise and ineffective for funding public education.
