The answer is no in any circumstances.How to find a dentist.
1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.0 -
Well, not entirely true, but almost certainly true in the OP's circumstances.Toothsmith said:The answer is no in any circumstances.0 -
Is any tax payable?]
No VAT on Ophthalmic fees
Only Professional fees vatable are when we write a report for the DVLA etc.0 -
I would guess the OP is wanting to claim the cost of their own treatment against their own income tax, to which the answer is always no.0

When can you? I think I could get it set against corporation tax if I had to pay for any private-only vaccinations for me or my staff, but that's the only possibility I can think of.nick74 said:

Yes, if an employer provided medical treatment to an employee then the employer could claim tax relief on the cost. It would often be a taxable benefit to the employee though.Toothsmith said:

Yes - I have private medical insurance which my business pays for (Because it's a policy for companies) - but rather than have it taxed as a benefit, I'm advised to repay the premiums to the business from personal funds!How to find a dentist.
