If you paid the premium directly to Laya, VHI etc then almost certainly the tax relief was applied 'at source' and you paid the net amount rather than then gross amount.

Tax relief on medical expenses

You can claim tax relief on medical expenses that you pay for yourself or for someone else.

You typically only need to claim tax relief credits in situation where the premium is paid in part or full by your employer.

No - tax relief is applied at source. You can claim tax back on any shortfall on treatments received or medication prescribed.

Isnt the tax relief already factored into the price the customer pays?
