Claim school expenses on your tax

Mar 2010
Only half of Australian parents with school-aged children are taking advantage of a tax refund for back-to-school expenses. The Australian Taxation Office figures reveal that tens of thousands of eligible families have not lodged a claim, leaving $500 million in unclaimed benefits.
The education tax refund provides parents with refunds of up to $375 for each primary school student and $750 for secondary school students. Parents can claim for expenses such as school textbooks, study guides, stationery, computers, internet connections and educational software. Contact your tax agent or the ATO for more information.
