Hi all,
I've recently finished college and I was cleaning the room out the other day I found a pile of student train tickets that i had used over the last year, in total the value of them comes to over €1000.
My question, is there anyway to claim back part of this expense, as I wasnt entitled to a student grant etc., possibly a tax refund or something?
It must be the student in me still wondering about this:pac:

If this isnt the right forum for this, mods please feel free to move, thanks

No.

The costs of travelling to/from your place of business/study/worship/philandering cannot be claimed as an expense unless your employer allows you to. In which case, it will be taxed as a benefit in kind.
