Tax on a payout from a health insurance company

Hi, Do I need to pay tax on a payment from a health insurance company? My employer offers a Bupa dental insurance for employees. This employment benefit works following way: I paid for my dental treatment, then claimed this payment on Bupa insurance company online portal, and then received payment from insurance company for exactly same amount in my bank account. I don't know whether I should include this claim payout from dental insurance company in my self-assessment and pay tax on it. Can you please help? Thanks

Hi faizovboris,
No you will not declare the payout. you will already be declaring medical benefit from your employer and this covers any claims.
Thank you.

Thank you for your answer! So in the case of health insurance, I need to pay tax only on the cost of health insurance because it was bought by the employer. But I don't need to pay tax on payments for medical treatments that I received from the insurance company?

Hi faizovboris,
That is correct,
Thank you.
