Medical Aid, out of pocket expenses, can I claim on my ITR12 Tax Return?

By Marc Sevitz · Updated

I paid an amount of R7k in medical expenses out of my own pocket and did not claim from medical aid. How much of that amount will I get back from SARS?

It would depend on the SARS formula for out of pocket expenses:

Tax deductions for Out of Pocket expenses
Salary / IRP5
Medical
Deductions
