    Ummmmm, what do you mean? Students pay income tax the same as anyone else if they earn enough.

    If you do it's because your earnings over the year as a whole were low enough that no tax was due. The fact you're a student has no bearing (except that its probably the reason you didn't work all year).

    Yep. Being a student does not give any special treatment, you pay the same tax as anyone else.

    The only "special" tax treatment comes when you pay for courses out of your own pocket, you can get some tax back on this.
