Over65 says: 15 July 2015 at 16:19 When I got married five years ago my wife was not a member of a medical scheme and I got her to join a scheme, not the one I belong to as it was too expensive. I pay the subscriptions, monthly via a debit order on my cheque account. Also she is financially dependent on me. Can I claim her medical expenses on my tax submission? I am over 65 years old. |

TaxTim says: 16 July 2015 at 20:02 Yes you can claim her expenses on your tax return. Does she work still? |

TaxTim says: 17 July 2015 at 14:25 You can claim then for her and include it in your tax return, if SARS ask for proof then you would need to supply a letter stating that she is dependent on you financially and show proof of payment. |
