请教Tax Return - Self education

如果用Fee-help付了学费， 学习和工作相关课程， 学费还可以税前抵扣吗？

我在goingtouni网站上看到有这样的文字：

"If I take out a FEE-HELP loan, am I still able to claim my tuition fees as a tax deduction?

Taking out a FEE-HELP loan does not affect your ability to claim a tax deduction.

You may be entitled to a tax deduction for your tuition fees, including the tuition fees that the Commonwealth pays on your behalf through FEE-HELP loans, if there is a direct connection between your education and your work activities at the time the expense was incurred. You can call the Tax Office on 13 28 61 for further advice.



The loan fee and repayments of your FEE-HELP loan are not tax deductible. See Repayment of HELP loans for further information on repaying your FEE-HELP loan."

但是我的tax agent说我当时没有自己掏钱付学费，是政府借给我钱的，所以我不能再从政府那里要求退税。

我现在很confusing， 如果这样的话，网站上说的"tax deductable"指得是什莫呢？

YOU CAN DEDUCT THE TUITION, AND YOUR REPREMENT OF THE DEBT IS NOT DEDUCTABLE

我把你上面写的翻了一下，希望有帮助。

If I take out a FEE-HELP loan, am I still able to claim my tuition fees as a tax deduction?
如果我使用“费用帮助”（FEE-HELP）的贷款，我还可以把我的学费申请放到税务抵扣项里吗？

Taking out a FEE-HELP loan does not affect your ability to claim a tax deduction.
使用“费用帮助”贷款并不影响你申请税务抵扣。

You may be entitled to a tax deduction for your tuition fees, including the tuition fees that the Commonwealth pays on your behalf through FEE-HELP loans, if there is a direct connection between your education and your work activities at the time the expense was incurred. You can call the Tax Office on 13 28 61 for further advice.
如果在学费产生时你所上的学与你的工作有直接相关性，你有权把学费放入税务抵扣项中，包括联邦政府通过“费用帮助”贷款以你的名义支付的学费。如仍有疑问，你可以给税务局打电话13 28 61。

对了，再提醒一下，如果你这一财政年的收入低于20，000左右（具体多少忘了，就是那个最低税率的限），你可以打税务局的电话要社区报税免费服务电话预约做免费报税的。
