My husband pays the medical aid for himself and me his wife and 2 children and he claims the tax credit back for this. There is no point in him claiming additional medical tax credit for other medical out of pocket expenses as he earns too much to qualify for this. I however earn much less. Can I on my tax return claim additional medical tax credit for any medical out of pocket expenses for myself and my 2 children.

If you are paying for the out of pocket expenses you are able to claim them on your own return. Kindly read our blog on Tax deductions for Out of Pocket expenses
