Section 473A of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 set out the conditions for tax relief on tuition fees for higher education.

As the Deputy will appreciate, while the operation of the student grant scheme support measures for third level students is a function of this Department, the disregard amount referenced is a matter for the Revenue Commissioners.
