Medical expenses in my return

  Written by Marc   Posted 19 November 2015

My company pays my medical aid which is reflected on my IRP5 under code 4005. I have 4 dependants on their own medical aid. I pay the contributions from my bank account. Do I add these contribution amounts to my other medical expenses for same dependants also paid out of my bank account and reflect it under code 4020? Plus do I state the number of dependants including myself as 5/month?
I am never sure how to complete this each year. Thank you
