Sorry. I know similar questions have been asked before & I have looked at Google, and every answer seems to have a slightly different take so I just wanted to confirm (maybe explain it to me like I’m 5).
- I am employed full time, standard PAYE worker
- I make monthly donations to a charity, which exceed 250
- I claim back medical expenses & WFH relief every year
The charity has sent me a CHY3 form so they can claim tax back on my donation & so increase what they get. However, in an example they give, the end sentence gave me pause:
“For example, if Joan had medical expenses in 2022 but has already submitted an Enduring Certificate she can only obtain income tax relief on the amount of tax she paid, minus the tax relief repaid to the approved body.”
Is this implying that the medical expenses I claim could be affected and I wouldn’t get all that I am owed? To be honest, I can just about afford the donations, and come January every year, I do depend on that taxback so I can’t afford it to be reduced. Or would this only happen if my donations were very high in comparison to my income?
