    Hi All,
    Just wanted to find out if anyone is in the same boat as me. I studied at university for couple of years but got a full-time job as a ict technician with local council. I have been studying part-time for professional certifications but also been doing my degree part-time as well. I wanted to find out if studying part-time, should i be getting taxed or is there a tex relief for being a part-time student. I am currently earning £20k.

    Any help on this would be appreciated.

    P.S am in scotland, just in case different rules apply here.

    cheers,

    TB

    The answer is yes, you have to pay tax and NI (if you earn over a certain amount).


    See here.

    Normally most "benefits" (I use that term lightly) that apply to students are normally only applicable to full-time students (eg on further/higher education courses that has a minimum of 16 hours of classes per week).

    I used to study part-time and work full time in order to gain my degree (but that was years ago, I graduated in 2003) and will again start up next year for my post-grad studies. My advice is to contact your local tax office for more up to date information.
