Following the Court of Appeal judgment in the Revenue and Customs v. Dr Piu Banerjee case, HMRC consulted with various bodies and published revised guidance on the availability of tax relief for training (including CPD) costs incurred by employees.
That guidance is at EIM 32530:
http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/eimanual/EIM32530.htm
and 32535
http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/eimanual/EIM32535.htm
The guidance follows the Court of Appeal judgment of Rimer LJ and makes it clear that tax relief is only available for training costs where all of the conditions set out in EIM32535 apply.

Recruitment to dental foundation training is managed by the Committee of Postgraduate Deans and Directors (COPDEND) working in partnership with the London Dental Deanery. The aim is to match the number of places available with forecast number of graduates from dental schools in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Dental school graduates apply for these places through a transparent competitive recruitment process. Any graduates who fail to find a place immediately on graduating are encouraged to apply to join subsequent recruitment rounds.

I am pleased to have this opportunity to raise the question of oral health in the UK. Oral health is given far too little attention, in terms of what practitioners can bring to improving a population’s general health, as well as how it can be used to prevent the development...

I thank the hon. Lady for giving way and for bringing this matter to the House for discussion. Oral health is a big issue right across the whole of the United Kingdom. In Northern Ireland, some plans have been mooted to introduce fluoridation in the water. That has been resisted...

I know that the hon. Gentleman feels strongly about this issue. I feel equally strongly about it, but I disagree wholeheartedly with him, not least because a lot of toothpaste has fluoride in it in any case. Neither of my daughters, now 30 and 26—they will probably

The hon. Lady is generous in allowing me to intervene again. There are statistics and information showing that fluoridation of water leads to osteoporosis and other diseases. Is it not important to be careful before pursuing a policy that could affect people’s health negatively rather than help them?

I understand the hon. Gentleman’s concerns, and I am sure the population in his area will continue to have that debate, but I am convinced by the data and information that I have seen that, on balance, fluoridation of the water is a good thing. I was intending to touch...

Absolutely, and I would be very happy to do so. The hon. Lady’s commendable focus on this area of health care would, of course, lead me to wish to share that information with her, but of course I would be delighted to share it with the all-party group, too. The...

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many UK dental graduates who applied for a Dental Foundation Training (DFT1) place in August 2012 were unsuccessful. [HL2178]
Thirty-five dental graduates from dental schools in England and Wales were unsuccessful in obtaining a dental foundation training (DFT1) place out of an overall total of 1,145 eligible applicants. The Postgraduate Dental Deans are seeking to make arrangements whereby these dentists can maintain their skills pending the 2013 DFT1 recruitment exercise, in which some training places will be available from February 2013.
Dentists from the European Economic Area, with a recognised dental diploma, are exempt from dental foundation training in keeping with European wide legislation on mutual recognition of qualifications, which generally prohibits imposition of additional training requirements, or eligibility tests, which obstruct free movement to gain employment.

In 2011-12 the Department commissioned the London postgraduate dental deanery to run the first national recruitment programme to dental foundation places. We are aware that 41 overseas dentists were successful at interview involving a test of communication and clinical skills and management and leadership skills. The individual trainers of foundation dentists will tailor the training they provide to meet the needs of individual trainees. Trainers receive advice from directors of foundation training programmes working under the direction of postgraduate dental deans.
