More than 65,000 nurses and midwives are working in Ireland right now.<\/p>\r\n

Most of these nurses are entitled to claim a wide range of tax reliefs.<\/p>\r\n

But what can nurses claim on tax? Many Irish workers are simply unaware of what they are entitled to.<\/p>\r\n

The result? Thousands of euros in tax refunds go unclaimed every year.<\/p>\r\n

When you consider that the average Irish tax refund a Taxback customer receives is \u20ac1,880, it\u2019s easy to see why applying for your tax refund makes so much sense!<\/p>\r\n

With that in mind, we have created this helpful guide to cover everything a nurse needs to know about\u00a0claiming their tax back online TODAY<\/a>!<\/p>\r\n\r\n

So which tax reliefs can Irish nurses claim?<\/h2>\r\n

Discover the key tax reliefs for Irish nurses as we delve into the essential components of maximizing your returns.<\/p>\r\n

Whether you handle your uniform or it’s provided by the hospital, valuable returns are waiting for you.<\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Flat rate expenses<\/h3>\r\n

Let\u2019s start with flat-rate expenses \u2013 these are available to workers in various industries.<\/p>\r\n

The purpose of flat-rate expenses is to reduce the costs associated with work (such as uniforms, tools and equipment).<\/p>\r\n

The amount that can be claimed varies from job to job. The good news for nurses is that you may be able to claim back as much as \u20ac733 per year<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n

Not bad!<\/p>\r\n

In short, if you supply and launder your own uniform, you can claim over \u20ac730. However, even if your uniform is supplied and laundered by the hospital, you can still claim \u20ac258 each year.<\/p>\r\n

Medical expenses<\/h3>\r\n

Medical expenses are perhaps the most common type of tax relief available to Irish workers. It\u2019s also one of the most underutilised – only 4 in 10 workers claim this tax relief every year.<\/p>\r\n

Put simply, if you\u2019ve been to the doctor or the dentist in the last 4 years, it\u2019s pretty likely you will due some money back.<\/p>\r\n

Here are some examples of medical expenses that qualify for relief:<\/h4>\r\n

Doctor and Consultants Fees<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 you can claim 20% in tax relief on the cost of every visit.<\/p>\r\n

Prescriptions<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 you can also claim tax relief on the cost of prescriptions. Relief is also available on costs incurred from a coeliac or diabetic diet, as advised by your doctor.<\/p>\r\n

Physiotherapy<\/strong>\u00a0– you can claim tax back if your doctor refers you to a physiotherapist, chiropractor or osteopath.<\/p>\r\n

Diagnostic procedures<\/strong>\u00a0– X-rays, MRIs, CAT scans and other diagnostic procedures are eligible for tax relief.<\/p>\r\n

Eye care<\/strong>\u00a0– There is a long list of optical treatments which qualify for tax relief \u2013\u00a0learn more here<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n

Whether you\u2019re just out of college or still paying for third-level fees \u2013 this is an important tax relief to be aware of as it could save you a lot of money.<\/p>\r\n

What can nurses claim on tax? Tax relief is given at the standard rate of tax which is 20%. However, there is a limit to fees, at \u20ac7,000 per course, on which you can claim relief.<\/p>\r\n

We have created a full guide to claiming tax back on tuition fees.\u00a0See it here<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Year of marriage tax relief<\/h3>\r\n

Did you get married in the last four years?<\/p>\r\n

In the year you’re married, both you and your spouse will continue to be treated as single people for tax purposes.<\/p>\r\n

In other words, you may be due tax back if you paid more tax in the year you got married than you would have if you had been treated as a married couple.<\/p>\r\n

This is a really common type of\u00a0tax relief that married couples can claim<\/a>. So, if you\u2019re recently married, it\u2019s definitely worth investigating how much you can claim.<\/p>\r\n
