Medical Credit
Posted 4 July 2013
Hi Tim. Love the website!
So, what in essence is happening is: Unless your Over 65, Disabled, Very Sick and your Out of Pocket expenses are ridiculously high and your salary very low and you contribute to 50 dependents your not going to get your refund?
Does SARS realise that this is the one time per year that regular salary earners can look forward to getting something back and now they have very cunningly taken that away from them and put that money back into their own pockets?!

Do I still have to register with SARS and fill in a tax return?
Posted 4 July 2013
In 2012 I was paying PAYE, I got an IRP5 from work but did nothing with it as I didn't know what it really was. Then in February 2013 they raised the threshold and I no longer earn enough to pay tax. Should I still fill in a tax return for 2012? Will they charge me late fees for this?
Will TaxTim allow you to add Medical Aid, RA's,Mileage and other investments like ETF's?
Posted 3 July 2013
I am under the impression TaxTim will easily allow you to add Retirement annuities and medical aid but how does the system work with Mileage that needs to be claimed as well as ETF's Like Satrix top 40 when you have to add it under Gross income and then taking it back under s10(1)(k).
Or have I lost the plot completely?

How do I claim this back?
This was your response to a previous question - please advise why the calculator is reflecting 0?
Posted 3 July 2013
Regardless of how much the contribution is you will only be allowed a deduction for medical aid contributions limited to R720 per month for yourself and your first dependent and then R440 per month for any further dependents.
My 2012 return for code 4008 was R17 280 - The calculator this year shows nil - Can you explain possible reason?

I was on the employer medical aid for 9 months which amounted to R21 384 for the rest of the tax yea
Posted 1 July 2013
I was on the employer medical aid for 9 months which amounted to R21 384 for the rest of the tax year I was on my own medical aid and the total became R6780. What do I put on 4040 either amounts or do I only put R6 780. Also will my son's speech therapy be considered a total of R1 725 on 4022? When I calculate the result it shows nothing on 4008. Is this right?
Why is the source code 4008 on my ITR12 income tax return = 0?
Posted 1 July 2013
4005 = 19404.00
4474 = 19404.00
4116 = 2760.00
How come my 4008 = 0
