Medical contribution 4005 but my employer doesn't pay

  Written by Evan   Posted 3 July 2015

Good day
My employer doesn't contribute to my medical aid, however under code 4005 on my IRP5 my medical contributions I paid in my personal capacity are shown. Is this correct? If not can I change it myself on IRP5 to R0 when doing my return and put that figure that appeared under 4005 to 4040?
Many thanks

How to Claim for desk cost and how to submit my tax return?

  Written by Marc   Posted 2 July 2015

July 2014-Feb 2015 I was a recruitment consultant. I did not receive a salary, I simply paid a R5000 desk cost per month, which I believe I can claim back for.

Temporary break in rental income

  Written by Evan   Posted 2 July 2015

I have a property that I rent out. Every year on my tax return, I declare the income I received, and also include related expenses (ie, interest on loan, levies, rates, etc)

I would like to know the following - there were 2 months when the property was not let out (I was finding new tenants at the time). Can I include the expenses for those 2 months thereby reducing my profit, or can I only include expenses for the months when the property had tenants and I was receiving an income?

Medical aid tax rebates - Employer pays half directly into my account

  Written by Evan   Posted 2 July 2015

My company offers to pay 50% of my medical aid contribution. This money is paid directly to me (included in my salary into my bank acc). The amount is indicated separately as "MEDICAL AID" on my payslip. I therefore pay the full amount of the monthly cost to my medical aid every month from my bank account. On my IRP5, my employer indicates their 50% contribution under Deduction code "4005" even though they do not pay the Medical aid provider directly.

My question is:

A) Should this amount be listed under "4005" (According to SARS there should be no amount under 4005 if the employee pays the medical aid personally) ...
