Medical credits incorrect on IRP5?

Posted 27 August 2014

Can you please assist me. I have noticed that my medical tax credits on my IRP5 is incorrect. What would the reason be for the different amount on my IRP5? Can I change it to the correct amount according to the number of dependents including me on my medical aid certificate? I am sure if I change it SARS will them audit me, which will be fine as I can provide the medical aid certificate stating the number of dependents.

When you put in the correct number of dependents on the medical section and keep the IRP5 as is, the assessment will adjust for the correct number of dependents and you will get the correct credit.
