Can I ask a question on the back of this. I submit med 1 each year and looking at my balancing statements I received €186.40 each year for medical insurance relief, (company pays health insurance) regardless of my med 1 form amount, and this is added to my other tax credits, these are then subtracted from tax paid and I get the refund. My question is this, if I am allowed €186.40 each year for med ins relief and I don't see anywhere on balancing statement - Med 1 - then why bother filling in the form each year if my amount of tax credit / allowed from govt won't change? Why not just fill in the med ins relief and Age credit form? Thanks
