So according to https://www.revenue.ie/en/personal-...ees-paid-for-third-level-education/index.aspx :

"You can claim tax relief on qualifying fees (including the student contribution) that you have paid for third level education courses"

"The first €3,000 (full-time students) or €1,500 (part-time students) is subtracted when calculating relief for tuition fees. If you have paid fees for more than one student, this disregard amount will only be deducted from your claim once."

I would appreciate help with the following questions here:

- Is a Masters course "third level"? Is a Doctorate?

- There is one full-time student in the household, and what I pay for the university is under 3000 Euro a year so I never bothered with the credit. Now a part-time studend mught show up as well. How do I calculate the tax relief? make a total and substract 3000?

I don't think that this is correct.
This suggests that you deduct €3K from any expenditure for the full time student and €1.5K from and expenditure for the part time student. You don't add the two together and subtract €3K.

Sorry, maybe I'm wrong above...
