Points to Remember about Medical Expenses
You cannot claim tax relief for any expenditure which has been, or will be, reimbursed by another body such as the VHI, Laya healthcare, Hibernian Aviva Health, the Health Service Executive or other body or person. You may claim tax relief in respect of any qualifying health expenses paid by you in respect of any individual.
Rent Relief
To be eligible for this tax credit, you need to have been continuously in private rental accommodation since 7th December 2010. The credit is doubled if you are over 55 or are married. No tax credit is due to individuals who began renting after 7 December 2010. 2017 will be the last year that this relief is available.
Flat Rate Expenses
Over 150 Employments qualify for a tax deduction known as a Flat Rate Expense, some examples include Hotel staff, Plumbers, Nurses, Doctors and Teachers. Inform us of your occupation and we will see if you are eligible for a tax refund.
Tuition Fees & Student Contributions
Tax relief may be available where tuition fees student contributions have been paid by an individual to an approved Third level institution. This tax relief is applicable per course, per student, per college year. Any part of your tuition fees covered directly or indirectly by grants, scholarships, by your employer or other financial aid will not be eligible for tax relief. An individual can claim tax relief on fees paid for Tuition Fees and Student contributions in respect of any person as long as he or she has paid the qualifying fees. It is important to remember that Registration fees do not qualify for this relief.
Pension Contributions
Amounts contributed to a pension can be deducted from gross income before that income becomes liable to tax, subject to certain limits. In effect, tax relief is given at the marginal rate of tax. Pension contributions of employees in occupational pension schemes will normally be made and relief given through their payroll system. Similar relief can be claimed through the local Revenue Office for contributions to other pension arrangements.
