Hi There, Please advise if it is at all beneficial to add in the medical amount not covered by the medical aid when completing my tax return? (ie - Dr's bills and medicines covered out of my own pocket). What is the difference whether I add this in or not?

Please make use of our Medical Tax Credits Calculator to see if there is any benefit. There should be!
