In short
Many healthcare roles have a flat rate expense agreed with Revenue, claimed without receipts and backdated four years. Healthcare staff also often rent, work for more than one employer or agency, or arrived in Ireland recently, and each of those can mean tax overpaid. We check all of them together.
What healthcare workers often miss
- Flat rate expenses: Revenue's list covers many health sector roles, such as nurses, midwives and healthcare assistants. The amount depends on your role. How flat rate expenses work
- Agency and second jobs: your credits sit with one employer, so another job or agency can over-deduct tax if things aren't set up correctly.
- Emergency tax when you start: common for staff who've just arrived in Ireland or moved hospital. Emergency tax guide
- Rent Tax Credit: many health staff rent, and the credit can be claimed back to 2022. Rent Tax Credit guide
- Spouse living abroad: Non-Resident Aggregation Relief may apply. More
