It\u2019s universally agreed that no one should overpay tax.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

And yet did you know that millions of euro in potential tax refunds go unclaimed by the Irish public every year?<\/p>\n

In fact, the average PAYE tax refund from Taxback<\/a> is an eye-watering \u20ac1,880. So while you\u2019d probably rather do literally anything else than think about tax for even five minutes, it\u2019s definitely worth taking some time to look into what you\u2019re due.<\/p>\n

We know all too well how difficult it can be to navigate the confusing world of taxes. So, if you\u2019re feeling daunted by the prospect of claiming your tax entitlements, don\u2019t worry, you’re not alone, and we\u2019re here to help!<\/p>\n

In this blog we\u2019re going to take a look at the most common tax reliefs that can be claimed and exactly how you can get your hands on your cash.<\/p>\n\n

Owed medical expenses?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\n

Medical and dental expenses<\/h2>\n

With the average Irish family splashing out over \u20ac2,000 on medical expenses each year, it may come as a shock to you that only 4 in 10<\/strong> Irish people claim tax relief on these fees, and with the standard rate at 20%, this means over \u20ac400 is left unclaimed.<\/p>\n

You can also claim on dental expenses if the procedures are classed as non-routine, these include braces, crowns, and root canals. Routine procedures include fillings and denture repairs, and you won\u2019t be able to claim tax back on these.<\/p>\n

In our article find out how to claim tax back<\/a> for first time.<\/p>\n

While you can\u2019t claim back on expenses that are covered by your health insurance. You can, however, claim tax back on excess medical or eligible dental payments.<\/p>\n

Ask your dentist to provide you with a MED2 form for this.<\/p>\n

Relief for specific diets<\/h2>\n

Many Irish people aren\u2019t aware that if you have a medical condition which requires a specific diet, you are entitled to claim tax relief<\/a> on those costs. For example, a coeliac that requires a gluten-free diet qualifies for tax relief.<\/p>\n

A letter from your doctor as well as relevant receipts from the purchase of gluten-free products will be needed to avail of this form of tax relief.<\/p>\n

It should be noted, however, that tax relief cannot be claimed on products that are naturally gluten-free, only specially made dietary products.<\/p>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

College fees<\/h2>\n

Did you know that if you are paying the fees for a full or part-time third-level course, for yourself or even for your child, then you may be able to claim tax relief<\/a> on some of the expenses?<\/p>\n

Oh, and the good news doesn\u2019t stop there, as there is no limit<\/strong> to the number of people in a family that are able to claim relief! This is commonly claimed by parents of more than one child who attended college.<\/p>\n

While you can’t claim any relief on fees for registration and examinations, there\u2019s still quite a lot that you could be missing out on.<\/p>\n

Tax relief for college fees is granted at the standard rate of 20%.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Flat Rate Expenses<\/h2>\n

A Flat Rate Expense is a type of tax relief or tax credit that is available to people in certain occupations. The intention of Flat Rate Expenses is to help with costs associated with work, for instance uniforms, tools and equipment.<\/p>\n

There is a set amount allocated to each occupation – hence why it is called a ‘flat rate’ expense.<\/p>\n

It can be confusing and difficult to understand what exactly constitutes a Flat Rate Expense, but you should know the different expenses that apply specifically to your job.<\/p>\n

The lowest flat rate is \u20ac33 for professionals: engineers, surveyors, etc as well as general operatives (labourers etc. incl. Public Sector) and the highest flat rate is \u20ac2,476 for people working in RTE National Symphony 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.<\/p>\n

Also, it doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re a bar man who pulls pints of Guinness all day in a small pub in Longford or you\u2019re a specially trained mixologist in one of Dublin’s fanciest bars, either way you’re entitled to the Flat Rate Expense of \u20ac93.<\/p>\n

Working from home<\/h2>\n

Roughly 100,000 Irish workerswork from home, and are entitled to claim the e-worker tax relief.
\nIf you are working from home, the good news is you can claim expenses on costs incurred while working from home such as heating, electricity and broadband costs.<\/p>\n

The average Irish tax refund is \u20ac1,880<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Keep your receipts close<\/h2>\n

Be sure to always keep your receipts as you will need documentation as proof that what you are claiming a refund<\/a> on actually existed!<\/p>\n

You can do this either with paper or electronic records.<\/p>\n

If you choose to use electronic records then you must capture all the information on the receipt, front and back. It\u2019s a good idea to keep a backup as well in case you lose it.<\/p>\n
