I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that they have no record of having received a claim in respect of a tax refund for tuition fees paid by the person (details supplied). To qualify for relief the postgraduate course must:

• be carried out in an approved College (National College of Ireland is an approved college)

• be of at least one academic year but no more than 4 academic years in duration

• lead to a postgraduate award on either a thesis or an examination and

• the person taking the course must already have a primary degree or equivalent qualification.

A claim form is available at www.revenue.ie and a receipt from the college should accompany the claim.
