Claim Code for Main Return: Select a code from the list which best describes the connection of the course undertaken by the taxpayer with the taxpayer's current work activities. The connection may be:

I

Based on improved income potential in current work.

At the time you incurred the expense you could show that the study was leading to, or was likely to lead to, increased income from those work activities.

K

Directly related to skills required for current work activities.

At the time you incurred the expense the study maintained or improved a skill or specific knowledge required for those work activities.

O

Some Other direct relationship between study and current work activities.

Other circumstances where there is a direct connection between the taxpayer's self-education and their current work activities.

 

If the taxpayer received assessable income from their work as an employee outside of Australia, including any assessable foreign employment income shown on a Payment Summary, you can claim any work-related self-education expenses the taxpayer incurred in earning that income at this item.
