Self-education deduction for childcare, and the childcare rebate/childcare subsidy

[#1]

Hi,

does the childcare rebate/childcare subsidy impact my ability to claim childcare as a self-education expense?

Thanks, Jennifer

Childcare is not deductible.

At most it offsets the 250 reduction for self education. This is based on the net amount you pay after subsidies.

No, it doesn't but there must be a "nexus' between the study and your current employment.
