Braces - Tax deductible

Willbbz

Hey folks!

I'm a 20 year old student and have paid an arm and a leg to get myself braces (Roughly 4,000 EUR) and am currently 3 months into the threatment now with nearly half of the balance paid off.

I was reading on a few threads that braces are tax deductible in some circumstances and was hoping to get some or point me to information on this. I plan to have these paid off in full by the end of the year. So if anyone was in a similar situation let me know.

I'm also looking to see what percentage is tax deductible and how to go about claiming tax back so any info is much appreciated.

Cheers!

Hey,

I'm a full time employee paying roughly around 4k for my braces. I'm going to be applying for tax relief in January, just wondered how much I might get back? I'm in the lower tax bracket.

assuming you didnt get anything from health insurance 20% - limited to whatever paye you paid for the year

Mr. Incognito

It's a tax credit against tax paid. Unless you have paye to set it off against then you won't be able to claim. Med 2 is the form
