Can I claim medical expenses as a dependant on my husband's medical aid?



I'm a new provisional taxpayer. Our private medical aid is in my husband's name. Can I claim anything for my medical expenses not covered by medical aid?

Yes you can still claim all the non-medical aid expenses you pay for yourself on you return.
