College Fees Paid?

[jeny]

Hey all,

I recently started in accounts practice and wonder if my employer refuses to pay my College fees on Top of my Wages, Can I ask him to pay them upfront and then Deduct the amount he paid over a period of 4 months from my salary before Tax, So I dont pay tax on the money He has paid?

I.e He pays 800 for me now

So if my wages are 500 p/w I make then 300 p/w for 4 weeks to pay him back.....

Or is this not thwe proper way to do it for tax purposes?

Surely the issue of whether or not they will pay your fees is down to your contract of employment? Qualifying tuition fees qualify for tax relief at 20% but you need to claim this yourself if you pay the fees yourself. You can't simply get them to pay the fees off payroll as you describe to avoid/evade tax at your marginal rate!
