    I can't find the actual rate of relief for dental treatment on the Revenue website - tried calling them but they told me to read the website!!!

    Simple question (fromme and my other half) - I'm hoping someone can answer this:


    Cost of Braces: €4,000
    PAYE employee on the high rate of tax (41%) paying tax for over 12 yrs
    How much approx. tax relief will I get back?


    Cost of a Bridge: €2,000
    PAYE employee on the high rate of tax (41%) paying tax for over 9 yrs
    How much approx. tax relief will I get back?

    I know there have been changes in rates in recent rates, but I'd like to know if I get 10% back, 20% back, 50% back ...No one seems to be able to give me an answer.
    Thanking you in advance

    Relief on medical expenses is at the standard rate i.e. 20%.
    So if you paid €6,000 for non routine dental treatment you would get a refund of €1,200.

    20%
    ask the clinic to give you a med 2 and go from there
