I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the cost of the claims for tax relief on health expenses, which includes medical and dental expenses, in 2012 (the most recent tax year for which data are currently available) is estimated to be in the order of €134 million. Figures for previous tax years are available in Revenue's Statistical Reports, available on the Commissioners' website at , in the "Income Tax" chapter of each year (Table IT6). Updates will be published on Commissioners' website in due course.
