Vol. 368 No. 2

Written Answers. - Tax Relief on VHI Premiums.

25.

asked the Minister for Finance his views as to whether persons should be allowed tax relief on the new special VHI premiums to cover treatment in luxury private hospitals; if he will end the tax relief on premiums for such special hospitals; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have no plans at present to change existing arrangements for income tax relief on health insurance premiums. The relief will, of course, fall to be kept under review as part of the budgetary process.
