At Taxback, we’ve helped thousands of teachers get tax refunds over the years. The average Irish tax refund our customers receive is €1,880.
This article outlines some of the most common tax reliefs and deductions that teachers can claim and shows you how to easily claim your maximum tax refund online today.
Flat rate expenses
Thousands of workers across a wide range of industries are entitled to claim flat rate expenses.
The purpose of these expenses is to cover the cost of equipment that is needed for work (such as tools or uniforms).
Both full and part-time teachers, as well as other education staff - such as principals and lecturers, are entitled to benefit from this tax relief.
Whether you’re a full or part-time teacher in Ireland, you should take full advantage of this type of relief - which can be up to €608 per year, depending on your role.
However, it’s important to keep in mind that you don’t automatically receive the flat-rate expense tax deduction. You have to claim it for yourself.
The good news is that, if you have never claimed this tax relief before, Taxback can help you claim it back for the last four years. The average Irish tax refund is €1,880
Medical expenses
Have you been to see your GP, dentist, consultant or physio at any time in the last four years?
If so, you will likely be entitled to a significant tax refund.
In fact, if you pay for eligible medical and non-routine dental expenses, you can claim back as much as 20% of the total cost. In other words, if you have spent €500 on medical expenses over the last four years, you can claim back €100.

Married tax credit
Got married recently?
In the year you're married, both you and your spouse will continue to be treated as single people for tax purposes.
This means that you may be due tax back if you paid more tax in the year you got married than you would have if you had been treated as a married couple.
So, if you’ve recently married, it’s definitely worth investigating how much you can claim.
Tuition fees
If you or a loved one has attended third level education anytime within the last four years, you may be entitled to a significant tax refund.
This is a very important relief to be aware of, as it could potentially save you a lot of money.
Tax relief is given at the standard rate of tax, which is 20%. You may be able to get tax relief on fees up to €7,000 for certain courses.
