How do the medical aid deductions for 2013 work - become dependent or become principle member?

  Written by Marc  

Hi Tax Tim, thank you for a very informative website, I've learnt a lot!

Hi, I mistakenly did not pick up my medical payments deducted from my salary as a 'tax perk' which therefore adds to my taxable amount. I now have to pay in more tax after I have already completed both provisional tax forms, only to discover this now when I must submit my ITR12 now in November.
