Tax Deductible Expenses

Did you know...
because you're self-employed, your health and dental plan could essentially pay for itself.

If you're self-employed or are an employee of your own business, health and dental premiums may be a non-taxable benefit and a tax deductible expense. For others, the premiums may qualify as a medical expense that create a tax credit.

Here's how:

Health and Dental Plan Annual Premium:

Tax deduction assuming 40% marginal rate

-$420

Total Net Cost

$630

Saved Annual Expenses (paid through health & dental plan)

-$180

Dental costs

-$200

Contact lenses

-$100

Chiropractor/Registered Massage Therapist
