Therefore, no tax savings can be claimed in years of marginal employment or part-time employment. <\/p>\n Therefore, ideally, the course fees should be paid in the calendar year in which the higher marginal tax rate applies.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nTax deductibility<\/span><\/h1>\n
Is distance learning tax deductible?<\/h3>\n
\nThe individual is already engaged in a professional activity, and continuing education improves the knowledge and skills required to perform that activity.<\/p>\n
\nTraining provides the knowledge and skills needed to pursue a future career. A tax deduction may be available if the training is directly related to your current profession. <\/p>\n
\nRetraining measures are so comprehensive that they enable participants to enter a new profession. The aim is to enable participants to pursue a different profession that is unrelated to their previous occupation. <\/p>\n\n
