TaxTim says: 15 July 2013 at 13:21 It isn't anything you are doing wrong. Does your medical aid come out of your salary directly, so your employer pays it over on your behalf? If this is the case then your tax benefit from your medical aid is already taken into account when your employer pays over your PAYE each month. You would only be due a refund if you overpaid your taxes, so if the PAYE was more than the actual tax owed at the end of the year. Your employer would do a proper calculation to determine the tax owing each month and pay it over. Unless they are unaware of some other deduction you may have, such as Retirement Annuity or a donation perhaps then the tax paid and owing would be the same and no refund would actually be due. To answer your other medical question, have a look at this blog post - Tax deductions for Out of Pocket expenses |

TaxTim says: 15 July 2013 at 16:27 If the medical aid comes out of your salary or even if the employer pays part of it this will all get taken into account when your PAYE is calculated. Does your RA also come out of your salary or is this paid for separately? |

You could use the TaxTim dialogue to answer the questions and receive a copy of what your tax return should look like. On your eFiling you should include the amount paid for the RA under the retirement section of the ITR12. |
