Are Your Taxes Serving Your Child’s Education?
Our higher education system uses up a huge percentage of income tax contributions to offer free education at the State Institutions — but what if your child does not fit in any offered by Government? What are your options?
Think : what’s best for your child?
Your child deserves the very best education money can buy.
As a parent or legal guardian you have already invested heavily in your child’s education. You have probably spent years paying substantial fees to an independent or church school not to mention the money spent towards private lessons.
Why?
Because you want to do all that needs to be done to ensure that your child will get the best possible education in preparation for the future! And what happens after secondary school? Don’t you think your child deserve the same care as before?

Use your own taxes to your child’s benefit!
Parents or legal guardians are able to utilise their own annual income tax contribution to compensate for the tuition fees they pay for their child’s education at tertiary level. The example provided below is worked out based on the median income in Malta, and shows how a parent on this salary is able to recoup €3,300 per year paid as income tax as compensation for meeting the tuition fees for their own son or daughter.
An individual earning €25,000 gross salary per year pays an income tax of €3,328.13 that may be claimed back against receipts of tuition fees paid for your child’s education at Saint Martin’s Institute of Higher Education — up to €3,500 for the MQF level 5 diploma and up to €12,500 for the MQF level 6 degree, totaling €16,000 income tax reclaimed — equivalent to 5 years of income tax returned by Government to reimburse you up to 70% of your child’s expenses!
If you wish a detailed breakdown of how the system works with your own gross salary and what tax rebates you will receive, please ask to meet one of our members of staff to explain in detail.

Three main characteristics make Saint Martin’s Institute right for your child’s higher education
1. Your child deserves the best possible attention whilst reading for a degree. Parents and legal guardians are led to believe that once out of compulsory education, children can fend for themselves. Some do, but many students don’t, and they feel like being thrown in a storm in a struggle for survival! At Saint Martin’s Institute of Higher Education our attention is geared towards guaranteeing that your child will become an independent learner as early as possible. Students are #NotJustANumber at Saint Martin’s and this is not simply a slogan. The Audit Team from the National Commission for Further & Higher Education (NCFHE) of the Government of Malta concluded that the institute SURPASSED EXPECTATIONS with respect to Student Centred Learning after scrutinising the operations of the Institution over a period of five years. With student groups of less than 30 students we dedicate time and commitment to the needs of your child. Learn more about the 33 year legacy of Saint Martin’s Institute of Higher Education.
