Tax Relief on Tuition Fees: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how you can claim tax relief on tuition fees paid for yourself or others through the Irish tax system.
This scheme allows you to claim back a portion of the money spent on tuition fees through a reduction in your tax bill.
Who it's for
This is available to anyone who has paid tuition fees for themselves or for another person.
What you get
You can receive tax relief at the standard rate of 20% on any tuition fees paid that exceed €3,000.
What it costs you
There is no direct cost to apply, but you must keep all your receipts for fee payments to prove your expenditure. You will need to complete the claim through your online account on the official Revenue website.
The catch to know
The relief does not apply to the first €3,000 of fees paid; only the amount spent above that threshold is eligible for the calculation.
How to apply
- Gather all your official receipts for tuition fees paid.
- Log in to your myAccount on the official Revenue website.
- Follow the prompts to claim your relief.
