Tax relief for VHI payments

sitstill · 2010-01-12 22:43:12

Does anyone know how to claim this is for example payments are taken from salary every fortnight? How does it work exactly, do they just give you the sum of 20% back? Thanks

If your employer is paying your premiums tax relief os not granted at source and you will need to make a claim to the Revenue for this relief.

If a person pays their VHI personally (My employer doesnt do health insurance as part of the package) can that be put against tax? I just pay a monthly standing order to VHI.

If you pay premiums personally, then tax relief is already granted to you. No further claims to be made.
