MED 2 form

FIRE

Can anyone answer if I need to send the MED2 form in somewhere or is it a receipt?

Im sure they told me that it was a receipt and that I didnt need to do anything.

Only I havent heard anything yet and I'm due I think they said 10% back? I had my teeth out in November 2008

Has anyone had the same issue?

if you had surgical extractions (eg wisdom teeth) you can claim a tax refund (approx 20%).
You need to send a MED2 form (completed and signed by your dentist) to the tax office. tax office address will be on the med2 form.
no need to send receipt unless they ask for it.

From the MED2 form...

Please note that this form is a receipt and should be retained by you as evidence of expenses incurred. Claims for tax relief on any of the expenses mentioned overleaf should be claimed either through our PAYE Anytime service on www.revenue.ie or by completing and submitting Form MED 1 to your local Revenue office. All Claims must be made within a 4 year time limit.

As the previous poster states, surgical extraction of impacted wisdom teeth are eligible for tax relief whereas other extractions are regarded as 'routine' and so are ineligible. This relief is standard-rated, ie 20% currently.

Yeah I'm sure they sent off the form on my behalf. I did have a surgical extraction I only have the med2 form. Do I need to go onto revenue or will I just wait?

Thanks.

6 Weeks?? Mine is going on about 10 months.

I had my teeth out on 25th Nov 2008 and my follow up appointment was on 4th December. I got my receipt on the 4th December 2008.


Any ideas?

I'd say you'd want to check back with the practice to see if they definitely sent off the claim on your behalf - it should not take that long at all to go through. My experience was that I was given the med2 form which is just a receipt, but I had to put my claim through myself then after getting that med2 form. You can put the claim through online @ www.ros.ie using the paye anytime facility. It took around 2 weeks only to go through if even that. Then you must just retain the med2 for your own records.

Many thanks i just submitted it online. A new service for me to use.

Tell all your mates. It can save them a significant amount (20%) on high end dental treatment.

Hey there.

I'm just wondering how much tax I should get back with the med2 form after spending 4000 on braces.

I heard they may be trying to reduce the amount you get back. Is this true?

Also, how long does it take after sending in the form before you get the taxback?

Tnx

See my above post. The amount that you get back already has been reduced from 40% to 20%. It used to be 40% if you paid the high rate of tax on any of your income.
