Question

 · Accepted Answer

RichATO · Answer

If you work while you study and incur self-education expenses, you may be eligible to claim a deduction. You may also be eligible if you receive a taxable scholarship. You can claim self-education expenses if you work and study at the same time. The study must relate to your current employment and you can meet certain conditions. If you are a full-time student without an income which is directly related to your field of study it's much harder to claim a deduction. In the case of your iPad you would need to justify that it was a requirement of your course enrolment and completion. You could then claim deductions for the depreciation of it.
