Can you claim Med2 for dental work done outside Ireland?

LuckyMe63

I'm thinking of going to Spain to get some dental work done. The type of work to be done is non-routine therefore should be possible to claim on Med2.


My question is, will I be able to claim a refund in Ireland and is there anything in particular I need to do?

And yes, even with the cost of travel & accomm it will be a lot cheaper than getting it done in Ireland

Not an expert but I would think yes. The dentist in Newry stamped my Med2 form last week, it was completely routine for him.

Yes you can claim it on the Med2. No problem. The tax refund will come in handy if you need to get the work redone later.

Or to pay guards, nurses, doctors, teachers, social welfare too

It actually goes to pay the pensions of the gombeen gob****es that facilitated the whole thing.

Just to caveat this I expect (not certain though) that it would only apply to work done in an EU country. That's the usual approach with most tax reliefs (as Ireland isn't allowed discriminate against services provided in other EU countries).
