Tax return and tax assessment for individuals

You can request accident insurance for domestic work by checking a specific box on the front page of your tax return.

Individuals who tick the relevant box of the tax return are considered insured for accidents related to domestic work from 1 June of that year until 31 May of the following year, provided that the tax return has been filed on time.

The insurance fee is charged at the time of the annual tax assessment.

See further information on compensation for accidents on the website of Iceland Health (Sjúkratryggingar Íslands).
