My Taxes For My Child
How much is your child’s achievement worth? Honestly, how sure are you that the support your child will be given is adequate to ensure a successful graduation?
Maltese families rightly so, are obsessed with their children’s education, and pay a king’s ransom on schooling and private lessons to ensure their children make it to their degree. Expectations are high, but soon real-life experience with overcrowded lecture theatres, boring lectures, little or no personal attention from overworked academics, and as a finale, a qualification that has no notable global ranking.
Unlike choosing secondary schooling, families do not seem to give much importance towards the choice of a University, because of the money. The University of Malta is ‘free’ and this makes an obvious choice. Or is it?
You can now use your own income tax to finance your own child’s higher education at an institution of their choice!
Parents may use their own income tax contributions wisely, choosing to pay for their children’s higher education at Saint Martin’s Institute of Higher Education, a recognised teaching centre for the University of London in Malta, and set their children on the right path for life, offered personal attention to succeed in a world-renowned degree.
If the problem is the actual payment of tuition fees, another Government scheme to encourage parents to support their own children to attend SMI, is the Studies Plus Scheme. This scheme offers students, who may not have the means to make the tuition fee payments, an Interest Free, Payment Free Loan during the period of study, with the loan payable in easy payment terms as soon as the student is in employment. And the 70% tax rebate will still be paid to the parent/guardian.
Choosing Saint Martin’s Institute of Higher Education for your child’s undergraduate studies is not just a choice. It is a choice many have made and never regretted. Get to know what students and alumni of Saint Martin’s Institute have to say, and decide for yourself that the Institute is second to no other …
You have the Choice to use YOUR OWN income tax contributions as a parent, for the benefit of YOUR child.
Parents have the option to use their own income tax to Government, to choose their own child’s higher education institution. Through the GetQualified scheme, a parent is able to present the statement of expenses for a son or daughter to read for the degree at the Institution of their choice, and the income tax contribution is received as a rebate acknowledging the expenses the parent would have incurred to help educate their own child, instead of relying on Government to provide the service.
You parent will receive up to 70% of your expenses as an income tax rebate, with a maximum total of €16,000 (€3,500 for Diploma and €12,500 for the Degree) having your income tax contribution returned until you receive the full amount.
Let’s take a look at how this works.
Parents may ask for a Tax Rebate if they are paying their child’s higher education tuition fees, in effect enjoying circa 5 years income tax ‘free’ as a ‘thank you’ for the funding of tuition fees paid on behalf of their child, through the GetQualified Scheme. And the child will still benefit from a Stipend and maintenance grants as a higher education student!
The University of London, a world-renowned University in Malta since 2000
This fact may have been Malta’s best kept secret, except for the hundreds of students who have since graduated from the University of London, by attending Saint Martin’s Institute of Higher Education. Is there any need to highlight the merits of one of the top global Universities? Neither is Saint Martin’s Institute a ‘fly by night’ organisation. This year is the Institute’s 35th anniversary since it opened its doors to students, way back in 1985.
