In Ireland, you can claim tax relief for home care services under the Health Expenses category. That means that if you, your spouse, or a dependent relative requires home care due to age, infirmity, or disability, you may be eligible to claim tax relief on these expenses.

Step
Fill out Form HK1 (Medical Expenses) which includes all expenses related to the home care services.
Ensure that the form is fully completed with accurate details of the expenses incurred.
Step
Log in to your ROS if you are self-employed, or MyAccount if you are a PAYE employee.
Navigate to the ‘Tax Credits & Reliefs’ section and select ‘Health Expenses’.
Step
Enter the total amount of your home care expenses in the appropriate fields.
Upload your completed Form HK1 and any relevant receipts as supporting documentation.
