Q: If I purchase special glasses for my disabled child, can the cost be claimed under the basic supporting equipment tax relief?

A: No. According to Public Ruling No. 4/2024, the tax relief for basic supporting equipment specifically excludes spectacles and optical lenses, so the cost for the purchase of the glasses cannot be claimed under this tax relief.
