I currently pay for my health insurance. My employeer doesn't .Can you recieve tax refunds if I pay for own health insurance?
 
As far as I'm aware if you are paying for it out of wages deduction then you should be getting a tax rebate in your wages for it. If not you need to ring the tax office to sort it out, maybe somebody else has experienced this but perhaps there is a standard form or something to complete.
 
Tax relief is now given at source for health Insurance BUPA VHI etc. and should be deducted by the insurance company from the premium due.

The form 12 tax return no longer has a section to claim tax back on this I think.
