Included medical scheme contributions and other medical expenses, but code 4008 says R0.00

  Written by Marc   Posted 19 July 2013

I just submitted my tax return. I received my ITA34. I contributed R7192.00 to my medical scheme (Code 4005) and also R1592 for other medical expenses not paid by the medical aid (Code 4020) but on the ITA34 my medical expenses is 0 (Code 4008), thus my deductions allowed is also on 0. So it says I will be getting back -1840.00, but shouldn't it be more because of my medical expenses and medical aid payments? Or do SARS first have to check this and possibly do an audit before they take my total ...

Medical Aid Tax Credit - source code 4008

  Written by Marc   Posted 17 July 2013

Hi

My Taxable Income is R 322 058. Through the year my medical Aid contributions were R 13 024 and out of pocket was R 11 359.19. I just wanted to check that I shouldn't be getting a rebate on 4008.


The calculation I'm doing is: Contributions and out of pocket (R24 383) - Tax Credit R246 * 12 * 4 (R 11 616) = R 12 767. This is less than 7.5 % of my income ~R24 000 therefor that's the reason why the 4008 allowable deduction is R 0?
