Johnny1963 says: 2 July 2015 at 11:34 My company offers to pay 50% of my medical aid contribution. This money is paid directly to me (included in my salary into my bank acc). The amount is indicated separately as "MEDICAL AID" on my payslip. I therefore pay the full amount of the monthly cost to my medical aid every month from my bank account. On my IRP5, my employer indicates their 50% contribution under Deduction code "4005" even though they do not pay the Medical aid provider directly. My question is: A) Should this amount be listed under "4005" (According to SARS there should be no amount under 4005 if the employee pays the medical aid personally) B) Should I indicate the entire annual amount paid by myself to the Medical aid under the Medical Deductions section, or should I indicate only 50% of the total annual amount seeing that my employer contributes half of the medical aid contributions "indirectly". |

TaxTim says: 2 July 2015 at 12:16 Your employer has incorrectly completed the IRP5, however it will not make a difference because you would still receive the credit if you complete the Medical section correctly. So you can put the 100% in the medical section and must include the number of members (include yourself).
