Education Tax Deduction: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to reduce your taxable income by deducting the costs of your own professional training and studies.
This scheme allows you to reduce the amount of income you are taxed on by deducting the costs of your own educational training.
Who it's for
This is designed for taxpayers who are paying for their own training or studies to improve their professional skills.
What you get
You can subtract your educational expenses from your taxable income. This effectively lowers the amount of money you are required to pay in taxes for the year.
What it costs you
There is no direct fee to apply, but you must keep all of your invoices and receipts for your courses and study materials to prove the expenses were valid.
The catch to know
Rules regarding what counts as a qualifying expense have changed recently. You must check whether your specific course or training program meets the current requirements.
How to apply
- Gather all invoices and receipts related to your study expenses.
- Determine if your specific course meets the current legal requirements.
- Include these costs when you file your annual tax return.
- Check the official portal for specific guidance on qualifying courses.
