Is it necessary to keep the Form which the chemist gives you when annually you can get from chemist a statement showing the total spent for the year. Also does Revenue make the refund to your bank account or allow a tax credit for the amount?
Revenue states that you have to keep the necessary records for up to 6 years. So once you are happy you can get that annual statement in 3 years time you should be ok.
Sorry if my query a bit confused. I now hold a statement from the chemist re payments for 2013 showing the full amount paid. Do i still have to keep the individual Receiipts i get on each purchase or will the annual statement suffice.

If the statement is clear as to the amount paid that related to prescribed drugs (or whatever else is allowable for the tax relief) then that should be fine.
Thanks. the statement only refers to the various sums paid and not the actual drugs so perhaps it would be safer to keep the detailed Receipts which shows the names of the drugs dispensed.
