Tax Return on Study Expenses
The Dutch government encourages lifelong learning and studying by making the costs deductible in the income tax return. This means that the expenses incurred for study geared towards a future profession are deductible up to a maximum of €15,000. There are conditions around these deductive costs. As of the 2022 tax year, tax deductions for your study costs will no longer be possible.
For more information about tax refund please contact our programme management or your tax advisor, or see the website of the Dutch tax authority.
