Just found out the bad news regarding school fees and 457 visa holders, currently undergoing my visa application, While the fees won't cripple us, just reduce the capital we are taking with us and hence make things much tigher finacially, and alter our plans to suit our Question is, are there any tax allowances/breaks for 457 visa holders who have to pay school fees for their children as temporory residents?
Not that I know of ... happy to hear of the experiences of others ...
Best regards.

Haven't heard tax benefits regarding this, but our company is taking care of these fees. I guess after some time of whinging I realize that my company is not that bad after all...
