I'm PAYE - any tax relief for self funded training courses?
Discussion
I think I can guess the answer but thought I'd ask.
I am employed by a company as a PAYE employee. It's my full time job and I don't work anywhere else or have a LTD company on the side.
If I were to spend a few thousand on a formal training course (relevant to my current job but my firm won't pay for training), is there any way I can get some tax relief back?
Just wondered if there is a scheme whereby the Government may want to give me an incentive to extend my learning.
NB: This would be a professional course and not a degree.

Expenses can be claimed against employed income if the expense was incurred "wholly, exclusively and NECESSARILLY in furtherance of your employment duties".
A personal decision to undertake a course which would HELP your career but was not absolutely essential for the job you were hired to do, would fail the "necessarilly" test.
