Tax and allowances

Deduct medical costs your insurer did not reimburse

Out-of-pocket medical costs your insurance did not cover (prescription meds, certain aids, dietary costs, extra care travel) can reduce your taxable income above an income-based threshold, and low earners get the threshold raised. Important: the eigen risico (own risk) itself is NOT deductible. How: enter the costs in your online aangifte; keep receipts. Condition: only the amount above your threshold counts.
