Tax Relief for tuition fees

x in the city

I am in the process of sending off this for but they want to know how much my fees are, I don't know at this stage as the letter from the course said fees will be known at a later date.

Should I say this on the letter to the revenue or wait until I know the actual amount as I dont want to linger around too long.

thanks

Moving thread to Taxation forum - you might get a better answer there.

You will need a reciept in order to claim tuition fees, so you can only claim once they are paid.

This is a related query so forgive me for highjacking your thread OP

I have c 10k in outstanding fees to pay to university. If i were to pay them all now in one payment would i be eligible for 44% tax relief on the entire amount?
The fees are in respect the past 2 years fees for college.
Anyone got any insight into this?
Thanks

Hi Guys,

The maximum relief you can get is €5000.00 per course per year, and relief is at the standard rate of 20%. Also, relief is granted based on the year the fees were paid (date on receipt) so i'd doesn't matter if the total payment is in relation to 2 terms, it's when the payment was actually made.

As long as your course is on the Revenue list of approved college/course providers, it will qualify for tax relief. The fact the course is taken in NI doen't matter. There are also some UK courses on the list.

Make sure you send the reciept or copy of them if you wish to keep the original. A lot of the booklets revenue have on tuition fees say you dont need the reciept and that you declare your fees and you need to hold on to reciepts in case of an audit. But when you sent in a claim they just request the reciepts delayiny your claim.

anybody have any idea what percentage of the fees you get back or is the amount reative to the amount of tax paid by the person?

As stated above, maximum relief is €5000.00 @ 20% rate of tax. So regardless of if the fees are €1000.00 or €5000.00, relief is only granted @ 20%

Taxes are fine they way they are, maybe even doubling them will make the world better, no need for tax relief
