 ISL Claim Forms should be submitted at the end of each and every calendar month in

which tuition was provided.

 Only applications for payment in respect of tuition that has been provided and pre-

approved will be processed. Parents/Legal Guardians must ensure that they have received

their formal written notification of approval for ISL Tuition for the current school year before

allowing the tutor to commence tuition.

 Only the Parent/Legal Guardian of the student who has been pre-approved to receive the

ISL Tuition grant may seek payment of the educational grant.

 Tutors should note that financial details in respect of this scheme are forwarded annually

to the Revenue Commissioners, as ISL Tuition payments, which are issued on a gross

basis, are reckonable for taxation purposes. Tutors should contact their local Revenue

office to advise them of this income that they receive from the Parent/Legal Guardian.

 The Department of Education issues the funding for the provision of the ISL Tuition to the

Parent/Legal Guardian. This does not establish or confer any contractual relationship

between the Tutor and the Department. The arrangements for the payment of the Tutor is a

matter between the Parent/Legal Guardian and the Tutor.

 Payment for ISL Tuition is made directly to the Parent/Legal Guardian’s bank account.

 The Department maintains details of one bank account only for each Parent/Legal

Guardian. If the current bank details held by the Department are correct, there is no

requirement to complete the Bank Details Form included at Appendix A. However, if the

Parent/Legal Guardian has never received payment from the Department before or if the

bank details need to be changed, please complete this Bank Details Form.
