I am doing a postgrad at Ulster University. Is this eligible for Tax Relief on Tuition Fees?
There is a list of approved colleges on the Revenue website,
http://www.revenue.ie/en/tax/it/leaflets/it31.html
and Ulster University is not on this list, but it also says this:
Tuition Fees - Third Level Education
Approved Colleges
Approved Colleges for the purpose of the tuition fees tax relief include:
Universities, Public and Private Colleges and Institutes of Higher Education in the State that provide courses that are approved for higher education grants;
A college or institution of higher education in the State which operates in accordance with certain codes of standards laid down by the Minister for Education and Skills (these colleges and institutions must be approved by the Department of Education and Skills for the purposes of this tax relief);
Publicly funded or duly accredited Universities and Institutions of Higher Education in another EU Member State;
"A college or institution of higher education in any other EU Member State providing distance education in this State, which provides courses approved for the Higher Education Grants Scheme (this includes the Open University);
Colleges or Institutions (in the State and in any EU Member State) which provide distance education in the State and which operate in accordance with a certain code of standards laid down by the Minister for Education and Skills (these colleges and institutions must be approved by the Department of Education and Skills for the purposes of this relief)."
