    Hi, i'm a full time student on a masters course, in sept 2013 I paid €7,500 fees and received €2,000 back from SUSI (Grant). I was/am unemployed and not working, therefore I assumed that I couldn't claim any tax relief on the fees as I wasn't working and wasn't paying any tax.

    Now my college friends tell me that isn't the case and I can claim tax back, is there anybody that can explain this to me as i'm feeling pretty silly for not understanding!

    Thanks

    Tax refunds relating to any additional tax reliefs or credits claimed can only occur if you paid tax in the year the credit or relief relates to. Since you paid no tax in the year the relief applies to, you are unable to claim a refund.
