    This might be better posted in the student forum but I'll try here first....

    A friend of mine is studying to be a chef at college. She had to buy a chef's uniform, shoes, and cookware, some other things, which came to a few hundred Euro.
    I'm just wondering if she can claim tax relief on this.

    Can they be filed under tuition fees?
    I came across the Flat-Rate expenses category on the Revenue website, but correct me if I'm wrong but flat-rate relief appears to be only for PAYE workers, not students?

    No.

    From section 473A TCA

    qualifying fees”, in relation to an approved course and an academic year, means the amount of fees chargeable in respect of tuition to be provided in relation to that course in that year which, with the consent of the Minister for Finance, the Minister approves of for the purposes of this section.

    Flat rate expenses relate to duties undertaken as part of PAYE employment.
