Can you claim your language course as a tax deduction?

Language Class Tax deduction
Is your language course claimable as a self-education expense?

Do you need to learn a language to help you do your job better? Self-education expenses are deductible when the course you undertake leads to a formal qualification. To claim a deduction for self-education expenses, you must have met one of the following conditions when you incurred the expense:
  • The course must have a sufficient connection to your current employment and:
  • the course maintains or improves a skill or specific knowledge required in your employment activities
  • you could show that the course was leading to, or was likely to lead to, increased income from your current work activities, or
  • other circumstances existed which established a direct connection between the course and your current work activities.
A work related self-education expense are expenses you incur when you undertake a work-related course to obtain a formal qualification from a school, college, university or other place of higher education. You cannot claim a deduction for self-education expenses for a course that does not have a sufficient connection to your current employment even though it might be generally related to it, or enables you to get new employment.
