Many girls spend huge sums in cosmetology clinics, but cannot receive a tax deduction, as in regular paid clinics. But it turns out that such a possibility still exists. The information agency EAOMedia will tell you the details based on the recommendations of experts in the material “aif.ru” (18+).
Experts say that you can get back 13% of the cost of some procedures, but not all. To do this, it is important to understand which services are considered medical and which are simply beauty care.
Dmitry Ryakhovsky, head of the department of taxes at the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, clarified that not every procedure is suitable for tax refunds. For example, regular filler augmentation, eyelash extensions, and spa rituals for radiant skin are generally not eligible for tax deduction.
In other words: if you perform procedures solely for the sake of beauty and youth, such services are considered cosmetic and are not included in the list for tax deductions.
But exceptions are possible only when there are medical indications: for example, injuries or congenital features, for example, lip symmetry or indications for the administration of Botox for medicinal purposes.
In this case, the procedure must be included in the range of medical services, which is approved by the Ministry of Health. The latest edition of this document contains such cosmetic procedures as: correction of asymmetry, consequences of injuries, as well as elimination of a naturally thin upper lip, removal of comedones, skin milia and sebum, ultrasound skin treatment, ultrasonic peeling.
How much money can I get back?
According to the portal “banki.ru” (18+), the maximum amount for calculating the deduction is 120,000 rubles, even if all total expenses were higher. In other words, they will return no more 15,600 rubles, that is, 13% of the limit. It is important that the refund amount does not exceed the amount of taxes paid for the year.
Important: to receive a deduction, the clinic must have a medical license. The payment certificate must indicate that the service was medical – only then will you have the right to a refund of part of the money spent.
