Tax Relief for Travel Vaccinations

Tax Credit

Summary

You can claim tax relief on your Irish tax return in respect of costs incurred on pre-travel vaccinations

A tax credit can be claimed on your Irish tax return in respect of qualifying health expenses. This includes travel vaccinations. The tax credit cannot be claimed if the expenses have been reimbursed to you by an insurance company.

The credit is calculated by multiplying the vaccine cost by 20%. This means that you will receive an €80 refund on your tax return if you incur vaccine costs of €400 (i.e., €400 x 20%).

How to Claim?

You can claim the tax credit on your tax return. This can be completed via Revenue's website.
