海外的学费与工作相关的可以退税吗

window2008

请问如果在新西兰读的bachelor,因为最后一年可以external,所以回到澳州边工作边读,并找到相关工作.那么学费可以在work related self-education expenses里抵扣吗?谢谢

This question is about self-education expenses that are related to:

    your work as an employee, or
    your receipt of Austudy, ABSTUDY or Youth Allowance to study full-time.

Self-education expenses are expenses that you incur when you do a course to get a formal qualification from a school, college, university or other place of education.

To claim a deduction for work-related self-education expenses, you must have met one of the following conditions when you incurred the expense:

    the course maintained or improved a skill or specific knowledge required for your then current work activities
    you could show that the course was leading to, or was likely to lead to, increased income from your then current work activities, or
    other circumstances existed which established a direct connection between the course and your then current work activities.

You cannot claim a deduction for work-related self-education for a course that:

    relates only in a general way to your current employment or profession, or
    will enable you to get new employment.

Example
    Louis is a computer science student. He does not receive Austudy, ABSTUDY or Youth Allowance. His studies are focused on system analysis, software design and programming. Louis also works at the university laboratory installing computers. His course and job are only very generally related. The work only requires a low level of computer knowledge which Louis already had before starting his employment.

    The high-level professional skills Louis acquires from the course are well beyond the skills required for his current employment. Consequently Louis cannot claim a deduction for his course because it:

--does not maintain or improve his specific knowledge or skills in his current job
--relates in only a general way to his current employment, and
--will enable him to get new employment.

问楼主：
1. 你现在已经找到的工作是不是和你学习相关的工作？
2. 如果问题1的答案是’是‘的话，那你所找的工作是否specifically需要你的Bachelor证书？
3. 你拿到Bachelor证书是不是有助你找到新的工作？

1是的,与工作相关
2 是的,他们需要的
3 有助于的
以上三个我都很确定,我只是不清楚,因为我拿的新西兰的bachelaor,而不是澳洲的.不知道是否也是同等的.毕竟是overseas的
谢谢

u answered 'yes' to question 3, it is less likely to be a deduction. Not very convincible.

What is the name of ur job title, and what is detailed qualification of ur bachelor degree?

然后学习与工作相关 神码的。。你 并不满足 大前提。。
