Hi all,
Not as straightforward a query as some others here so please bear with me.
I work for myself and have a Ltd Co. Until recently my wife worked for a big corporate as a normal PAYE employee and they provided family health insurance as part of her remuneration. It was Irish Life's Be Fit 2 plan and it covered both of us plus our 15 and 19 year old children both of whom are still in full time education.
My wife has left that job and is taking a career break for at least 12 months after which she'll likely change career but find a new employer and remain a PAYE employee.
The Irish Life Health renewal is due at the end of Dec and it's come in at €4,054.
We live in Sandyford so having access to The Beacon and Vincent's Private is and has been a very useful benefit. We're in our early 50's and healthy, both non smokers, keep fit etc.
I'd certainly appreciate tapping the knowledge within this forum to see what better value / more appropriate options might be available to us including whether it would be better/possible for my Ltd Co to provide me with family health insurance rather than paying for it out of tax paid income but perhaps that would just mean paying more tax which would be more or less the same thing.
