Tax Deductible College Course Advice...

Rainbow_Bright · 2012-07-30 12:18:06

Just curious, but if I paid for a college course whilst unemployed can I still claim it as tax deductible when I find work or would the payment have to have been made during my time of employment( if that makes sense!) Thanks

Basically you get relief in the tax year you pay the fees, so if you have no income you get no relief. Unused relief may not be carried forward.
