Medical Scheme Fees Tax Credit

  Written by Marc  

Good day,

I just want to make sure about the Medical Scheme Fees Tax Credit, source code 4116. My husband joined my medical scheme from July 2014, thus every month I pay for myself plus one dependent.

Correction on submission to SARS on individual return
