Coeliac and diabetic foods – tax relief

I am a coeliac / diabetic and follow a special diet. Can I claim tax relief on the cost of my food?

Yes. The cost of gluten-free and diabetic foods manufactured specifically for coeliacs and diabetics is an allowable expense.

A letter from your doctor stating that the individual in respect of whom the claim is made has the condition and that the products are purchased on the advice of the doctor is acceptable.

If receipts are requested, in addition to receipts for drugs/medicines, receipts from shops, supermarkets, etc., in respect of food products manufactured specifically for coeliac and diabetic patients  are also acceptable.

Any queries on same give me a call on 091 763817 or email me at oliver@taxreturnhelp.ie
