Can I enter provident fund contributions under code 4001?

Posted 11 July 2013

I was using your tax refund calculator I see that one can enter pension contributions (4001) but not provident fund contributions (4003). Why is this? I currently contribute towards a provident fund, what does this translate to tax wise?

Provident fund contributions are not allowed as a tax deduction and therefore do not affect your tax return or calculation.
