EK Education allowance query

[Vorsicht]

Here are the real facts

Primary Allowance: If the invoiced Tuition Fees are below Aed 10,000/- the amount reimbursed will be 100%, where invoiced Tuition Fees are above Aed 10,000 then reimbursement will be 90% (subject to a maximum of Aed 30,000/-).

Secondary Allowance: If the invoiced Tuition Fees are below Aed 20,000/- the amount reimbursed will be 100%, where invoiced Tuition Fees are above Aed20,000 then reimbursement will be at 90% (subject to a Maximum of Aed 48,000/-).

The way i read it is that if your claim is above 10,000 or 20,000 respectively (which it most certainly will be) then you will be reimbursed 90% up to the maximum.

It does not say you will only be charged 90% of the portion above 10 or 20K.

So, as most decent primary schools are around 30k, the most you can expect to have to pay is 3k per child in primary school or 4800 per child in secondary. However if your child is at a school whose fees are above 30k (or 48k for secondary) of which there are a few, then your bill will be 3k plus the full portion above 30k, or 4800k plus the full portion above 48K.

Any takers on clarification?

P.S I have just checked my education deductions and I can now clarify that it is 90% of the amount claimed above the 10k or 20k.

So for two kids in primary school i have had 4200 deducted for the entire year against 62000dhs in claims. Fairly reasonable i would say.
