Health Insurance Tax Credit

dzilla

Hello all,

I was hoping someone may be able to help me, I am filling out my form 12 for the last few years.

I took new employment mid 2016 where my Partner and I get occupation health insurance (1036€ each). I pay the BIK. I understand that there is a tax credit to a max of 1000 for each of us, however the companies health insurnace runs from august to august. Seeing as I had private health insurance until August that year and she had no health insurance, do we put in 1000 for the tax credit or just 500 as we only had cover for half the year.

Thanks

D

Fillout the details as per the above.

In passing: It is tax relief up to a max of 1,000, which works out as a max of 200 tax credit
