Tax relief on 3rd level student fees

Annasopra · 2012-11-15 09:06:03

There doesn't seem to be much awareness around how to claim tax relief on 3rd level fees so I thought I'd start this thread. Heres a few links explaining it. http://www.revenue.ie/en/tax/it/reliefs/tuition-fees.html…

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

Important issues that I would personally highlight here

Tax relief can be claimed for upto 4 years after the fees have been paid so you could still make a claim for 2009, 2010, 2011

If you are a parent with more than 1 child in 3rd level education you can claim tax relief on the student contribution fee.

Anyone can claim tax relief once they pay the fees
