No chance.  Medical treatment is not tax deductible.  A medical appliance is though (assuming you need it to carry out your work).

Hi all,

Opinions here may vary.
I found it better to get an accountant.
If you can't afford or don't wish to get an accountant, the IR will do your accounts for you.  They don't like doing it but I understand that they are legally obliged to do so and they must also be impartial.  However, there are various shades of impartiality.
I assume you are fairly new if you are asking such a question.  You must register your business with the IR within three months of starting it or they fine you (£100 I think).  So if you've been doing it a bit more than three months, maybe you would like to compact your income into a time frame starting from less than three months ago (taking care that there are no receipts from outside that time frame).  If you have any big receipts from more than three months ago that would save you more money than any fine, you may have to swallow the fine to save money.

Your best best is to go on one of the inland revenue accounts course  its FREE.
You may be able to book it online or ring up your local tax office.

I went on about 4 years ago with the I/R and found it was very good.

Also business link do these types of course's also which i also went on again very good and again it's FREE.

i know you can book the business link course up on the internet as thats how i got on it.

I'd argue that it's very possible that this is tax deductable (check with accountant). My reason is because if you're eyesight is directly effecting you're abilities within your trade then you need to get it sorted, no real difference to if your vehicle needs repairs.

I asked my accountant about glasses and was told that they were not deductable,
but if i havent got them i cant do the job?

[RSWindows]

glasses and eye tests are tax deductable. one pair of glasses every 3 years.

i believe the maximum every three years is £40
