How to claim

You can use myAccount to claim the credit(s) if your employer pays medical insurance for you or your family. You can make a claim during the year, or after the year has ended.

To make a claim during the year:

1. Sign into myAccount.
2. Click the 'Manage your tax for the current year' link under 'PAYE Services'.
3. Select 'Add new credits'.
4. Select 'Medical Insurance Relief' under the category 'Health'.

To make a claim for prior years:

1. Sign into myAccount.
2. Click on the 'Review your tax for the previous 4 years' link under 'PAYE Services'.
3. Request a 'Statement of Liability'.
4. Click on 'Complete Income Tax Return'.
5. On the 'Tax Credits & Reliefs' page select 'Health' and 'Medical Insurance Relief'.
6. Complete and submit the form.

You must provide:

• The date the policy started.
• Who is covered on the policy and their ages
• A breakdown of the cost of the policy for each person.
• The amount paid by your employer.

Your employer may pay all, or a portion, of your policy cost. Your employer can provide you with the details of the amount paid by them. The tax relief you can claim from Revenue is restricted to the amount paid by your employer. A breakdown of the cost of the policy per insured person(s) may be obtained from your medical insurance provider.

A list of approved health insurers is available on the Health Insurance Authority (HIA) website.
