Many taxpayers miss out on rebates because they aren’t aware of all the available options. Here are the key reliefs to consider:
Claim tax relief for non-routine medical expenses such as GP visits, prescriptions, or specialist treatments. Note that certain dental and fertility treatments also qualify.
If you worked remotely during 2024, you can claim a percentage of electricity, heating, and broadband costs for the days worked from home. Please read our details articles on Remote work relief.
Certain professions, such as teachers or healthcare workers, are entitled to flat-rate deductions to cover the cost of uniforms, tools, or supplies. Details on Flat-rate expenses are available here.
Students or their families can claim tax relief on eligible third-level education fees.
Ensure you claim your entitlement if you’re paying rent for private accommodation. If you’re renting out a room under the Rent-a-Room Scheme, check that you comply with Revenue’s tax-free threshold of €14,000.
The Rent Tax Credit, significantly enhanced in Budget 2025, allows eligible renters to claim:
This credit is applicable for rent payments made in 2024 and 2025, provided your tenancy meets specific criteria, such as registration with the Residential Tenancy Board (RTB).
