Can I add income protection premiums from 2 financial institutions together for code 4018?

  Written by Marc   Posted 17 July 2014

My place of work gives us an income protection policy. On SARS eFiling this is reflected under code 3808 however I have to manually enter it under code 4018. I also privately have an income protection policy from a different financial institution. Do I just add my contributions together and fill it in at 4018? Will SARS allow that or is there a limit in the amount that can be deducted?
