One of the most popular means of claiming back some of that hard earned tax you paid last year is by sending in a MED 1 form to claim your medical expenses. Its easy to fill out the form. You just add up all the receipts for all your family and enter them on the form as well as details from your P60. Routine GP fees and perscriptions are claimable. You need to have a MED2 form for your dental expenses. Your dentist will only give you one for claimable services. For more complicated claims and in particular nursing home expenses the guide below sets out details or contact me on 0469293891 fmcgivney@live.com.
Assuming you have no other adjustments then multiply your total expenses by 20% and this gives you a rough figure of your refund (nursing home expenses 41%) Also you have to have paid at least that amount of tax in the year in order to claim the tax back (if you haven't it paid it you can't claim it)

Is there a time limit for making a claim?
Yes. A claim for tax relief must be made within 4 years after the end
of the tax year to which the claim relates. Therefore, to claim for the
year 2008 you must submit your claim before the end of the year 2012.
Who can I claim tax relief for?
You may claim tax relief in respect of any qualifying health expenses paid by you in respect of any individual.
Can I claim tax relief on the full cost of the qualifying health expenses?
Yes, since 2007 tax relief is available on the total amount of qualifying expenditure.
At which tax rate is the relief given?
Relief will be allowed at the standard rate of tax (20%) with the
exception of nursing home expenditure which is allowable at the higher
tax rate (41%), if applicable.
The following table sets out the rate of tax at which relief is allowed over different years 2009 2010 2011 2012
Health Expenses Standard Rate Standard Rate Standard Rate Standard Rate
Nursing Home Expenditure Highest Rate Highest Rate Highest Rate Highest Rate
How is the tax relief given if I incur a Health Expense in one tax year and pay for it in a later tax year?
In these circumstances you have two options, you may claim the relief
in the year in which you incur the expenditure or you may claim the
relief in the year in which you pay for the expenditure.
Example
Qualifying health expenses incurred in December 2010 cost €1,000. €700
was paid in December of 2010 and €300 was paid in May of 2011. You can
claim relief in either of the following ways:
claim tax relief on the €1,000 in the 2010 tax year, or
claim tax relief on the €700 in the 2010 tax year and €300 in the 2011 tax year.
What if more than one individual contributes to the cost of qualifying health care?
Each individual can claim relief in respect of the portion paid by him or her.

When can I make a claim?
Claims for tax relief for health expenses should be made after the end
of the tax year in which the expenses were incurred. (However, see next
question ).
I am a PAYE worker paying monthly nursing home fees for
my mother – Is it possible for me to get the tax relief due on these
fees through the PAYE system during the tax year instead of waiting
until at the end of the tax year?
Yes, in certain circumstances
relief may be granted during the year. You should contact your local
tax office with details of your claim. If the claim relates to the year
2010 and subsequent years of assessment the nursing home in question
must provide qualified nursing care on-site on a 24-hour per day basis.
Note for the year 2009 the nursing home must be on the Revenue list of
approved hospitals and nursing homes to qualify for the relief.
In all cases you must submit a completed Med 1 Form in the normal way at the end of each tax year. (See next question.)

information shown on the claim form. If claims require clarification
during processing, you will be contacted and asked to submit receipts.
Note you should retain all receipts and forms Med 2 for a period of six
years as your claim may be selected for detailed examination in the
future.
My neighbour works in my local tax office, can I ask to have my Health Expenses claim processed in a different tax office?
Yes, if you do not wish your local office to know the nature of your
medical condition you have the option of having the claim examined by a
Revenue office other than your local Revenue office. Please submit your
claim in a separate sealed envelope attaching your request clearly
stating that for reasons of confidentiality you wish to have the claim
processed in a different office. Your local district will refer the
claim to the appropriate area and advise you of the contact details for
your records.
Alternatively you may call in person to any of
Revenue’s information offices and request the case be processed in an
area other than your local area.
Can I claim relief on the cost of medical treatment obtained outside the State?
Yes, you may claim for expenses incurred abroad. The following expenses qualify for tax relief:
the cost of qualifying treatment carried out by a practitioner (GP,
consultant or dentist) provided such practitioner is entitled under the
laws of the country in which the care is provided to practice medicine
or dentistry there
the cost of maintenance or treatment in a
hospital, nursing home or clinic provided the expenses incurred are in
association with the services of a practitioner or in connection with
diagnostic procedures carried out on the advice of a practitioner.
Note for the year 2009 the institution must be entered on the Revenue
list of approved hospitals and nursing homes. This requirement does not
apply for the years 2010 and following years. However tax relief will
only be allowed where the maintenance or treatment in a hospital is in
connection with the services of a practitioner and/or, diagnostic
procedures carried out on the advice of a practitioner.
Where
the relevant qualifying health care is only available outside of the
State, then the cost of reasonable travelling and accommodation expenses
are also allowable. In such cases, the expenses of one person
accompanying the patient may also be allowed where the condition of the
patient requires it. Where the patient is a child, the expenses of one
parent may generally be allowed and, exceptionally, of both parents
where it is clear that both have to be in attendance.

per kidney patients at kidney patients section. No relief is available
for the car parking fees. However, relief will not be granted for minor
local travelling expenses or occasional travelling [e.g. to undergo an
operation (unless by ambulance)].
In addition to these, please refer to the following paragraphs -

My child has a life threatening illnes or permanent disability and
attends hospital on a regular basis. I have large travel expenses and

relief on any of these expenses?
Apart from normal health
related expenditure, tax relief is also available for other expenditure
incurred in respect of children with life threatening illnesses
(including child oncology patients) and children with permanent
disabilities who require constant or regular hospital care. Constant or
regular hospital care does not necessarily mean being permanently in
hospital. However, it does imply regular hospital attendance or
supervision appropriate to the serious illness.
The qualifying items of expenditure are -
Travel
The following qualifies for relief -
the cost incurred in transporting (unlimited journeys) the child and accompanying parents or guardians to and from hospital
the cost incurred by the parents or guardians of the child in
visiting the hospital when the child is an 'inpatient' where such trips
are shown to be essential to the treatment of the child.
If a
private car is used, the cost of travel is determined at a rate as per
kidney patients at kidney patients section. No relief is available for
car parking fees.
Telephone
Where the child is being
treated at home, a flat rate to include telephone rental and calls may
be claimed where the expenses are incurred for purposes directly
connected with the treatment of the child. The rates are as follows:
2009 €301
2010 €300
2011 €310
2012 €305

What Health Expenses can Kidney patients claim tax relief for?
Apart from normal health related expenditure, tax relief is also available for the following expenses:
Hospital dialysis patients
The cost of travelling to and from hospital. Where a private car is
used, the claimant should specify the number of trips undertaken and the
kilometres (or mileage) involved. See paragraph A of section on Kidney
Patients for rates.
Home dialysis patients
Relief may be allowed under the following headings and at the rates shown in paragraph B of section on Kidney Patients.
Electricity
Laundry and protective clothing
Telephone
Travelling: Qualifying number of kilometres (mileage) at the appropriate rate per km or mile
Chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients

Electricity
Telephone
Travelling: Qualifying number of kilometres (mileage) at the appropriate rate per km or mile
When making a tax relief claim for health expenses for a kidney
patient, claimants should identify the appropriate category. Revenue is
aware that it is possible for a patient to move from one category to
another, depending on his or her condition. Where a change takes place
during the course of a year, relief for each category should be
apportioned as appropriate.
Routine Ophthalmic Care
Tax relief is not available for the cost of sight testing or the provision and maintenance of spectacles and contact lenses.
Back to Top
Dental Expenses
Which dental treatment expenses qualify for tax relief?
Relief is available in respect of non-routine dental treatment. Routine
dental treatment is not allowable i.e. the extraction, scaling and
filling of teeth and the provision and repairing of artificial teeth or
dentures. These are excluded from relief even if there is an underlying
medical condition that gives rise to the dental treatment or if the
treatment in a particular case is considered to be of a non-routine
nature.
A treatment for which relief is claimed must be considered in the light of the above.
If, however, the treatment is, for example, of an orthodontic nature,
involving the extraction of a tooth as part of that treatment, relief
would be allowed for the cost of the orthodontic treatment excluding the
cost of the extraction.
An exception to this rule is the cost
of the surgical extraction of impacted wisdom teeth carried out either
in a hospital or in a dental surgery, which is allowable.
Claims for non-routine dental treatment
An individual claiming relief on Form Med 1 for non-routine dental
treatment must hold a Form Med 2 (Dental) which is signed and certified
by the dental practitioner. The forms are supplied to dentists through
the Irish Dental Association.
Dental Treatments for which Tax Relief is Allowable
Crowns
These are restorations fabricated outside the mouth and are permanently cemented to existing tooth tissue.
Veneers/Rembrandt Type Etched Fillings
These are a form of crown.
Tip Replacing
This is regarded as a crown where a large part of the tooth needs
to be replaced and the replacement is made outside the mouth.
Gold Posts/Fibreglass posts
These are inserts in the nerve canal of a tooth, to hold a crown.
Gold Inlays
These are a smaller version of a gold crown. (Only allowable if fabricated outside of the mouth).
Endodontics - Root Canal Treatment
This involves the filling of the nerve canal and not the filling of teeth.
Periodontal Treatment
Root Planing is a treatment of periodontal (gum) disease.
Currettage and Debridement is part of root planing. Gum Flaps is a gum
treatment. Chrome Cobalt Splint if used in connection with periodontal
treatment (if it contains teeth, relief is not allowable). Implants
following treatments of periodontal (gum) disease, which included bone
grafting and bone augmentation.
Orthodontic Treatment
This involves the provision of braces and similar treatments.
Surgical Extraction of Impacted Wisdom Teeth
The surgical removal of impacted teeth carried out either in a
hospital or in a dental surgery is not regarded as 'routine dental
treatment' and relief is therefore allowed for the cost of such surgical
removals.
Note: An impacted tooth is one which is so firmly
lodged in its socket that it cannot emerge through the gum in the normal
way. The impaction may be caused by an overlying bone, or because the
tooth has grown in such a way that it has become wedged in against
another tooth.
Bridgework
Dental treatment consisting of an enamel-retained bridge or a tooth-supported bridge is allowable.
Note: Tax relief is not available for the cost of scaling, extraction
and filling of teeth or the provision of artificial teeth or dentures.
Non-routine dental treatment outside the State
Non-routine dental treatment obtained outside the State may be allowed
provided the dentist is a qualified practitioner (i.e. entitled under
the laws of the country in which the care is provided to practise
dentistry there).
A pdfForm Med 2 - Dental Expenses (PDF, 257KB) - Certificate by Dental Practitioner must be completed by the dentist.
