Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 April 2021
733. Deputy Peter Burke asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science if his Department will review the possibility of retrospective further tax relief on third-level fees; if measures will be considered which can be accessed later than the calendar year in which the fees were paid, for example, as part of the remaining balance of a student loan; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraThe timeframes for the claiming of all tax reliefs, including those on third level fees, are set out by the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 and are managed by the Revenue Commissioners. There are no current plans to revise these timeframes as they relate to tax relief on third level fees. However, these matters remain under review.
