Claim tax back if you are a coeliac patient

If you are a diagnosed coeliac patient you can claim a tax refund at the standard rate (through the Med 1 form) on all purchases of special dietary gluten-free products during a tax year. The only proof of purchase is your shop receipt and generally this requires keeping all your receipts throughout the year and at the end of the year checking off the relevant products to support any claim for a tax refund from Revenue. However, most of the major supermarkets have a link through their loyalty/reward card system to capture any expenditure on gluten free products purchased through the year. This information is captured when you use your loyalty/reward card at the till. At the end of the year you will receive a statement which will show the total amount you have spent on gluten-free food, which will suffice as proof of purchase to support your Med 1 claim.
