Are tools and equipment expenses for a student in a school-based apprenticeship eligible education expenses?
Yes, except for the amount the student receives or is entitled to receive as a reimbursement or payment of the expense under an Australian Government benefit, grant or subsidy. Example Albert’s son Joel is completing a carpentry apprenticeship as part of his secondary school curriculum and purchased trade tools during the year worth $2,000. As Joel is enrolled in an apprenticeship, he is eligible for a Commonwealth grant of $800 to assist with the purchase of trade tools. As Joel has received a grant worth $800 towards the purchase of his trade tools, Albert can claim an Education Tax Refund for the balance of that expenditure – that is, $1,200.
