Can I claim tax relief on my physio expenses ?

Can I claim for physio or similar treatment expenses against my taxes ?

Examples of allowable treatments under the heading of physiotherapy include treatment by a:

1. Physiotherapist,
2. Chiropractor,
3. Osteopath, or
4. Bonesetter.

In order for relief to be available, the treatment must be availed of on prescription
by a practitioner.

Tax Relief is not allowable where the treatment is on the basis of self-referral.

Tax Relief is given at rate of 20% and it is after any refunds from health insurers.

You can go back 4 years to 2018 tax year to claim any similar expenses not claimed previously

Acupuncture treatment is not allowable unless carried out by a person who is a
qualified practitioner for the purposes of section 469 such as a GP
