You can only claim tax relief on medical expenses if you’ve actually paid tax in the year. If you didn’t earn enough to pay PAYE, there’s no tax to refund. However, if you had any taxable income (like part-time work or social welfare that’s taxable), you might still qualify for some refund.
I didn’t earn enough wages for PAYE to be deducted; can I still make a claim for medical expenses incurred?
