Confused by 4005 codes different on IRP5 and IT3(b)

Hi,

The 4005 code on the IRP5 is different from the IT3(b) from the medical aid. Should I have any amount in 4040?

4005 = R 61,550 , but the IT3(b) shows R 58,802
3810 = R 20,506
4474 = R 20,506
4020 = R 7,486

It will not make a difference to the credit you receive - sometimes the medical aid is incorrect, but you should always go with the amount in the IRP5. There should not be any amount next to 4040.

Many thanks for the reply.

I have already submitted on SARS e-filling and after communication I have also submitted supporting documents. Do you suggest I do a correction or should I wait for the audit to be completed? Which way is quicker?

Rather wait for the audit to be completed because if you do a correction SARS will again audit you. They will fix the mistake.
