A new lobby group, the Fit 4 Life – Irish Physical Activity Alliance, or IPAA, wants people with gym memberships or who attend yoga classes to be able to claim tax back on those amounts under health expenses. The IPAA has emphasised the importance of exercise in ensuring people stay independent and health as they get older. “You probably look at me and think I’m as healthy as a horse. “She’s so feeble and so frail now, it really drives me on to stay really, really strong. But she also said that implementing a tax break without an information campaign on the benefit of physical exercise is “pointless”.
