Medical Expenses Code 4020

Posted 14 July 2013

Hi Tim, thank you for the great service. My basic salary is R20k, my employer pays R400 and I pay R1200 towards medical aid. I am the principal member with 1 dependant. I would like to clain approx R6000 on code 4020 as my personal med expenses not claimed from med aid. Is this claim valid and approx how much will I get back if anything?

The R6000 are these medical expenses that your medical aid did not cover for which you paid for yourself, if so and you can prove this then you would claim these as the medical expenses not recovered from medical aid.
