MEDICAL EXPENSE DEDUCTION

The Medical Expense Deduction is a system where you can receive a partial refund of your treatment costs by filing a tax return.

If you paid more than ¥100,000 in medical expenses in one year, treatments recognized as medically necessary are eligible for medical expense deductions.
By filing your own tax return, you can receive a portion of your medical expenses as a refund.

Medical expense deductions apply even when using medical loans or credit card installment payments!
Note: Our clinic only offers private medical care and is not covered by insurance.

Dental Treatments Eligible for Medical Expense Deduction

    • Caps (Dental Crowns)
    • Fillings (Inlays)
    • Implants
    • Orthodontic treatment for bite correction
    • Bruxism and TMJ treatments
    • Medications prescribed by dental clinics
    • Transportation costs for clinic visits

For more details, please refer to the Japan National Tax Agency's specific examples of dental treatment costs eligible for medical expense deductions.

Documents Required for Medical Expense Deduction Procedures

Since 2017, receipts for medical expenses are no longer required for medical expense deduction procedures.
However, as the tax office may request these documents, be sure to collect and keep them safe.
