Thanks for a great site! My question is I did my return on the 2nd July and I'm due for a refund. My concern though is I have been working for - 5years but this was my first return.

What is Allowable medical Deduction?

  Written by Marc   Posted 4 July 2013

When I submitted my tax return via SARS efiling last year, my tax calculation document stated that I had an "Allowable medical Deduction" (code 4008) of R8640. I am on private medical aid and my employer doesn't make contributions to my medical aid.

This year, (even though my total contributions (code 4040) for 2012/2013 have been higher), my "Allowable medical Deduction" is R0. What is this "Allowable medical Deduction" and how is it calculated?
