Tuition Reimbursement via Income Tax Will be Processed After Academic Year Completion

According to the changes made to the Tax Code on March 6, 2020, starting this academic year, working students can pay their tuition fees via income tax deductions. The Government's decision No. 1035-N, dated June 18, 2020, established a list of master's, doctoral, and residency programs where students studying in person will receive reimbursement for tuition fees through income tax.

Working students or doctoral candidates can only utilize the right to tuition reimbursement for one field of study, and the tuition will be compensated after the completion of the academic year. Additionally, the Government's decision No. 1125-N, dated July 3, 2020, established the procedure for the reimbursement of income tax amounts for individuals working under a labor contract for tuition purposes. According to this procedure, the income tax calculated on the salary and equivalent payments of an individual will be refunded if they successfully complete the academic year, meaning passing all examinations required by the educational program.
