Medical Expenses

ArcherL

My wife was in hospital for a while and the car park ended up being quite expensive for that period, can I submit those car park fees as medical expenses on the tax return?

Afraid not

Welcome to EXTORTION IRELAND, and by the way if anything happened to your car in that carpark they don't have to pay you for it

As paye info is now live with revenue (since the intro of PMOD) and p60s are no longer a thing, does anyone know if med expenses be claimed in year, or is it necessary to wait until the year end statement to claim for 2019 expenses? Thanks

Currently it's still year end. So for 2019 it'll be after 31/12/19 before you can claim. However Revenue are apparently looking at the possibility of in-year claims but don't hold your breath on that.

relax carry on

Still required to wait until year end and claim via an EForm 12.

How would those be medical expenses? How about the cost of any food you might have consumed on the way to visit her?

Op has a reasonable question and unfortunately your response and analogy are substandard for this forum. My advice: if you don't know, say you don't know (or say nothing)

If the qualifying health care is only available outside Ireland, you can also claim reasonable travel and accommodation expenses. In such cases the expenses of one person accompanying the patient may also be allowed if the condition of the patient requires it. If the patient is a child, the expenses of one parent are usually allowed and, exceptionally, of both parents where it is clear that both need to be with the child.

The OP asked a simple question. Not everyone is expert on tax deductible medical expenses. It was clearly answered in the next post. Beating them up further over it achieves nothing.

I think this response is substandard and abisive fir any type of forum. Hint: it’s one of yours. If you’re going to throw stones, get out of the glasshouse.



Hi op. Full. Of. ****. This whole "I'm a victim" culture needs to stop. You're the bully. Tell your dizzy wife to get her act together if she's going to conduct a business transaction. I've worked in a callcentre. I've had (gdpr breach warning) gerry ****ing **** try to blag his way to making tra

Well, mine is the Socratic method. Pose pointed questions to allow the poster to genuinely question themselves and realise that the stated expenses are not medical expenses.

Which is not in anyway related to the OP’s question - no suggestion that the treatment was undertaken outside Ireland not to mind undertaken outside on the basis that not available here.
