From the tax year beginning April 2001, the various schemes are amalgamated and many of the restrictions removed. This means that you may be able to get tax relief for fees paid in respect of courses in private colleges which are approved by the National Council of Educational Awards - a list of approved courses is available from the Department of Education and Science fees paid in respect of repeat years in institutions where fees are not normally payable . This is a new provision from 2001. The tax relief is now available to people who already have an equivalent qualification.
Relief is at the standard rate.
This relief is available in respect of fees paid for training courses in information technology and foreign languages if certain conditions are met. The course involved must be for less than 2 years and may not be a postgraduate course. Rules How to apply Apply to your tax office.
