High Court has released its determination in Commissioner of Taxation v Anstis in regards to deducting self-education expenses against Youth Allowance income. The Court held that the taxpayer’s self-education expenses were incurred in gaining or producing her assessable Youth Allowance income and were deductible even though the taxpayer was not employed in a relevant field while undertaking the study.
The decision opens the door for many students to claim self-education expenses against Youth Allowance payments as well as other forms of income support payments. This will be particularly relevant for students with part-time jobs whose assessable income exceeds the tax-free threshold.
The Full Federal Court had previously held in November 2009 that the costs of studying should be deductible because the taxpayer had to be enrolled in a full time course in order to receive assessable Youth Allowance payments.
