Someone told me recently that directors of a company can claim medical expenses relief at 50% rate. Does anyone know if this is true and if so will this still apply in 2009 when the medical expense relief cuts down to 20%?
"Someone" was wrong. Medical expenses for any taxpayer are, up to 31/12/2008 allowed at the taxpayer's marginal rate. From 01/01/2009 they are allowed at the standard (20%) rate only.
