Let\u2019s take a look at some of the most common tax reliefs that taxpayers too often forget to claim.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Medical expenses<\/h2>\n

Been to the doctor within the last 4 years? If so, it\u2019s pretty likely you\u2019ll be due a tax refund of 20% of the costs.<\/p>\n

In other words, if you pay \u20ac200 on doctor bills and medicines, you can claim \u20ac40 back.<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t worry if you can\u2019t find your receipts. Your doctor and pharmacy may have a record of your GP visits and prescriptions.<\/p>\n

In truth, this tax relief covers a wide range of medical bills including physio, non-routine dental expenses, IVF and much more.<\/p>\n

You can find our comprehensive list here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finally, if you pay nursing home bills on behalf of a loved one, you can claim back 40% of the cost.<\/p>\n
