Tax relief for coeliacs and diabetics
You can claim relief for certain food products if you have a medical condition associated with specific dietary requirements.
You must provide Revenue with a letter from your doctor stating the medical condition and specific dietary requirements. You can submit this letter through MyEnquiries in myAccount.
This applies to you if you are:
- a coeliac and must purchase gluten free foods specifically manufactured to be gluten free
- diabetic and must purchase diabetic products if your doctor recommends that you include these in your diet.
You must keep receipts for the gluten free food or diabetic products you claim relief on. These receipts can be from supermarkets, health stores and other similar shops.
Most retailers can provide a statement to loyalty registered customers with the listing of all the specific gluten free foods they purchased.
Tax relief on same will be at 20% tax rate
Can go back 4 years to 2021 to claim if not claimed previously
