Tax relief on Medical Expenses

Bishop22

I'm planning on submitting these medical expenses online via PAYE Anytime, I've applied, just waiting on the PIN to be 'posted' out to me.

Question: How does one get repayed? I know its value is 20% of the expenses, but is it paid into my bank account in one payment?

Many thanks, apologies if its a silly question and I overlooked the obvious.

relax carry on

If you are due a refund of tax from prior tax years based on qualifying medical expenses and you have provided your bank details, then the refund issues to your bank account.

Exellent and thank you. Thats at least one positive considering the overall layout on treatment/medicines and the natural concerns associated with the treatment.

Another question: can you claim any expenses for travelling (in our case to Dublin) for appointments/tests/treatment? Its not an inconsiderable cost at this stage with all the journeys. I've been taking the time as 'holidays' in work otherwise I'd have to produce the certificates and its our personal business we don't want shared. One horse town and all that :-)

So overall the costs have exploded (into the thousands) and it feels like there is very little assistance for those that are working. Thanks again for advice, much appreciated.

No - Afraid not

Mr. Incognito

It is only on qualifying medical expenditure that is not relieved by any other source such as a medical card ir health insurance

It is a credit against paye. No paye no relief. So unless you have paye up to one fifth of the cost you wont get the lot
