Refund on unclaimed medical aid contribution

By Marc Sevitz · Updated 28 November 2014

For the last 5 years I did not claim for the medical aid contribution I made via my company because I did not know that I can. Can I now ask SARS for the refund?

So you never entered in the number of members on your return ever?

If you made it via the company and put in your dependents then the contributions are taken into account via the actual IRP5 so then there is nothing to be done.
