    Hi I'm just checking if it's possible to get tax relief on the student contribution?

    Also is it possible that if someone else pays the 3000 that they can get it?

    For 2015 the first 3000 is disregarded for tax relief for full time students. For part time students it's 1500.

    From what I can see, you don't need to include a receipt with your claim - you just need to be able to provide it if asked. Is this correct? Seems a bit odd!

    You mustn't be familiar with the Irish tax system - or any self-assessment tax system for that matter..!

    From experience and other peoples experience I've heard of, they will usually look for proof that you actually did the course at least the first time you claim.

    It takes about two weeks and is usually EFTed to you with zero notice - you may get a replacement tax credits cert for that year with it on it, eventually.

    Like any claim for tax reliefs or refunds, proof of the claim may be requested at any time. Proof is not always requested with the initial claim.

    Refunds of tax paid in prior years are physically sent to the claimant via cheque or EFT to bank accounts if details are provided. When a refund is processed for prior tax years,a P21 will issue automatically informing the claimant of the result of the claim. Depending on how the claimant has opted to receive their correspondence, (snail mail or electronically to their PAYE ANYTIME account) the refund may arrive before the P21.

    Claims for additional tax reliefs or credits during an active tax year, mean an amended tax credit cert issues to the claimants employer allowing them to recalculate the claimant's tax for the active tax year which may result in a refund of tax in their wages. The claimant also automatically receives an amended tax credit cert for their records via snail mail or to their PAYE ANYTIME account.
