View answerSection 473A of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 sets out the conditions for tax relief on tuition fees for higher education.
Relief at the standard rate of tax is available in respect of tuition fees paid for approved courses at approved colleges of higher education. Details on eligibility and further information on how to claim this relief can be found online here: www.revenue.ie/en/personal-tax-credits-reliefs-and-exemptions/education/tuition-fees-paid-for-third-level-education/index.aspx.
There is no specific tax relief which would apply to accommodation costs incurred by university students.
