Tenille says: 4 May 2022 at 10:22 I would like to find out whether I can claim antenatal multivitamins and non-script items as part of medical expenses not covered by medical aid? I have been buying these since the beginning of the year and I was just wondering if since I use them for medical purposes would I be able to claim them. Kindly assist as I am very much confused. I heard somewhere that one is able to claim medical expenses from SARS, but I am not sure which expenses can be claimed. I tried looking for the list of medical expenses which I can claim, but I could not find it. |

Examples of qualifying medical expenses are any amounts that were paid by you, as the taxpayer, during the year of assessment:
