Tax Relief

Tax Relief

Tax relief can be claimed on tuition fees up to a maximum fee limit of roughly €5000. Learners can claim up to 20% of course fees back through tax relief. Applicants are advised to contact their local tax office in relation to this and to note that the course must be rdelivered through or in conjunction with approved institution.

The Finance Bill passed in February 2011 makes some important changes to claiming tax relief. All tax-relief is abolished for the first €2,000 of charges for full time students, and the first €1,000 for part-time students.

To get a full list of approved courses students should contact the Revenue Commissioners.
