Help with education costs available

THE education tax refund can help you with your primary and secondary school costs.
It allows you to claim a 50 per cent refund for eligible education expenses up to the maximum claimable amounts.
You need to claim the refund in the year you made the purchases but, if your expenses exceed the maximum claimable amount, you can carry it forward to the next year.
However, any expenses not claimed within two financial years cannot be claimed in later years.
