A Flat Rate Expense is a type of tax relief or tax credit that is available to people in certain occupations. Flat Rate Expenses intend to help with costs associated with work, for instance, uniforms, tools and equipment. There is a set amount allocated to each occupation – hence the name ‘flat rate’ expense.<\/p>\n

So, for example, the lowest Flat Rate Expense is \u20ac64 for cabin crew and the highest Flat Rate Expense is \u20ac2,476 for members of the RTE National Symphony Orchestra and RTE Concert Orchestra.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a dentist in employment you will be entitled to a \u20ac376 Flat Rate Expense per year from 2020-2024 (this is because the Flat Rate Expenses have remained the same since 2019).<\/p>\n

Wondering if what you earn affects what you\u2019re entitled to? Nope, it doesn\u2019t. Whether you\u2019re a barman who pulls pints of Guinness in a cozy pub in Longford or you\u2019re a specially trained mixologist in one of Dublin’s fanciest bars, you’re entitled to the Flat Rate Expense of \u20ac93, regardless of your earnings.<\/p>\n
